they might just especially massive around where I live, though, as I got to school in their hometown of Wakefield.
Wow you were totally right about the Cribs. What an amazing gig! They had such a high energy and loud sound. My ears were still ringing about an hour after the concert. The concert venue only held about 300-400 people at most and it was pretty packed, but the audience was pretty lame. A few head boppers/ swayers and hardly modeled the energy that the Cribs were showing.
Bands that opened for them:
Dead Trees (they're pretty good, I'm gonna check them out a little more)
