Ask MusicRadar: submit your questions for The Cribs and Johnny Marr
What shall we ask Wakefield's finest?
From the lo-fi beginnings of 2004's self-titled debut album to this year's Johnny Marr-featuring Ignore The Ignorant, Wakefield's The Cribs are considered somewhat of an indie gem in the UK.
Attracting the likes of Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, Orange Juice's Edwyn Collins and Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos for collaborations and production duties is testament to their appeal. Pinching Johnny Marr from Modest Mouse is the icing on the cake.
We've got mainman Ryan Jarman and latest recruit Johnny Marr popping in for a chat next week and they're well up for answering a few of your questions (just don't even go there with that old 'boring Smiths reunion' chestnut!).

“It’s been road-tested, dropped on its head, kicked around, x-rayed, strummed, chicken-picked, and arpeggio swept!” Fender and Chris Shiflett team up for signature Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe
