The Cribs strip It all down on ‘Never The Same’”

The Cribs, a British indie rock trio, Gary, Ryan and Ross Jarman, return with a tune "Never The Same"  as if the band were reflecting backward and forward simultaneously. Co-written by the Jarman brothers and produced by Patrick Wimberly, "Never The Same" is purposefully light. "Never The Same" investigates the confusing moment you realise that you are a fully different person but still yearning for the mess and power of an old self. 

The band leans into "Never The Same" beautifully, missing a past life that no longer feels right, even if it once defined everything. There’s maturity here, but also closeness. The Cribs sound in the moment, wide-awake and purposeful, focusing on clarity over misunderstanding. "Never The Same" isn’t trying to replicate the past, it acknowledges it, giving the future a trial and then walking forward with a clear focus. 

"Never The same" is a quiet expression of identity. The Cribs are not who they used to be, but that is what gives "Never The Same" its beating heart. It’s a reminder that change doesn’t erase who you were completely, it just transforms it.
