The Cribs have postponed their upcoming new album ‘Night Network’ due to the coronavirus crisis.
The Wakefield trio – Ryan, Gary and Ross Jarman – were initially set to release their eighth full-length record on November 13, following on from 2017’s ’24-7 Rock Star Shit’.
Tonight (October 27), the band took to Twitter to confirm the album has been pushed back one week until November 20.
Revealing that the COVID outbreak had resulted in issues at the record pressing plant, The Cribs explained that “unfortunately the album will not be ready by its original release date”, before offering their apologies to fans.

The band went on to say that “everything else remains scheduled” in support of ‘Night Network’, including their socially distanced performance at Banquet Records in Kingston Upon Thames.
The Cribs also teased that there is “more exciting stuff to come… watch this space”. You can read the full statement above.
