Rock institution \u2013 The NME Awards \u2013 are back again for 2015 and of course, the pre-shows are just as captivating as the main event.<\/p>\n

Returning after a two year hiatus to the gig scene, The Cribs were back with new material and a host of new fans ahead of the release of their new album\u00a0For All My Sisters\u00a0<\/em>charted for release this March. Of course, there’s one thing every indie or rock boy band need more than a crowd of screaming teen girls and leather-clad guys; and that’s a stellar pair of skinny jeans. With that in mind, it was only fitting that denim connoisseurs Replay\u00a0<\/a>were our hosts for the night. Whilst first-gen Cribs kids (us included) danced alongside a new wave of fans, we were treated to The Cribs new track “Burning For No One” at heart palpitating volume. Of course, first-time-round classics also permeated the venue at Camden Electric, with “Hey Scenesters” and “Mirror Kisses” firm favourites all round.\u00a0Wonderland\u00a0<\/em>chats Ryan Jarman after the gig…<\/p>\n

So, how was last night for you?<\/b><\/p>\n

It was fun, we had a good time and it was nice to play a headline show. It\u2019s been a while since we\u2019ve done that and I forget how fun that is. It was a great result.<\/p>\n

You pulled in a really diverse crowd, there were loads of really young people who are obviously still finding your music\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

Yeah, a few people have said that to me and it\u2019s one of the coolest things \u2013 the fact that we have an young audience when we\u2019ve been going for a while. The fear is that the audience grows with you, and that I\u2019m really proud of, but we have an injection of new younger fans which is good because otherwise you become those people who are preaching to the converted.<\/p>\n

Yeah people were little kids dancing around to \u201cMirror Kisses\u201d and \u201cHey Scenesters\u201d. They were going wild for it.<\/b><\/p>\n

And to think that came out ten years ago and they were like 9 years old.<\/p>\n

Exactly. So do you feel the NME Award Shows have changed over the years?<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve done a few before I think, I remember the first one we did was with, Giant Drag that was really cool. It was 2007, I was going to say that there were more bands then, but it\u2019s the same as last night really. It was cool being with ?, a brand new band. We\u2019ve done a million NME awards gigs to be honest.<\/p>\n

Do you think that between 2008 and now they have become a bit more\u00a0sterilised?<\/b><\/p>\n

I think people are always pretty much exactly the same. I think in some ways we\u2019ve been really lucky, because we\u2019ve been pretty much unaffected by the fluctuating trends through the years but our gigs have stayed the same.<\/p>\n

Your new track, \u201cBurning for No One\u201d, went down really well!<\/b><\/p>\n

Yeah that was cool because you always get kind of nervous putting new stuff out, you always expect it to be a little bit less well received because it\u2019s unfamiliar, but we were happy with how all the new stuff when down. It\u2019s nice when that energy gets transported back.<\/p>\n

What about the lyrics for “Burning For No One”, what\u2019s it about?<\/b><\/p>\n

We never put too fine a point on stuff, its always just about trying to evoke a feeling. But for me, with that song, there are a few things that strike the heart about situations from when I was younger. I could never really secure it before, but now the situation is that I\u2019ve been writing songs for a long time about feelings that I had before, that\u2019s kind of like what that one\u2019s about.<\/p>\n
