("Pink Snow" by The Cribs)
- [Gary] Back when we first started the band back in 2002,
we played a lot of our our early shows here.
- [Ryan] Yeah, I think when we first started playing here
it was more of a workman's pub kind of vibe.
- [Gary] It's always been a really diverse mix of people.
It's our spiritual home.
They were the first supportive venue.
Now it's one of the greatest venues in the country.
Hi, we're The Cribs from Wakefield
and this is our Fender Session
at the wonderful Brudenell Social Club in Leeds.

- When the Cribs first started,
we were using like vintage Mustangs and stuff.
I think we were really interested in the student models
just 'cause they were affordable and cheap, you know.
For working class kids like us,
there were so many obstacles
to becoming professional musicians.
The idea that the instrument that you were playing
would be another element that you'd have to overcome,
it just makes no sense.
I think one of the really cool things about the Meteora
is that it's an obscure shape.
The Meteora bass has got like so many configurations
and options on there.
For a bass player that's just gonna be really rad
and really inspiring, you know.
- It felt really high end to me which is impressive
because they are affordable.

- Later on when we started getting into like,
you know, like Nirvana, and the Ramones,
and just punk rock and stuff.
And we just went back to guitar lessons
and the guitar teacher said,
"Oh, have you ever learned a power cord?"
Like, no.
And he showed us how to play a power cord
and then that was it.
So we just started writing songs immediately.
I just think really just the desire
is the main thing, you know?
You just, if you want to do it,
it really doesn't matter how good our bad you are.
What people connect with is just someone with good taste
and that's it. - Yeah,
you could learn every single scale there is to learn
and like if some kid who's got no idea what he's doing
has a better idea than you,
he's gonna write a better song than you
and that's all there is to it
'cause he just had a better idea.
It's really that simple.
We started this band between brothers
because we all have the same taste.
Our initial aim
was to try and write our favorite songs
that don't exist yet.
