The Cribs, twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and younger brother Ross, suffered a run of bad luck last year, when vocalist/guitarist Ryan was taken to the emergency room after passing out during a performance in Birmingham, U.K.

His twin was admitted to the hospital two days later with what turned out to be blood poisoning caused by cuts from the strings of his bass guitar.

Whatever, which was produced by Franz Ferdinand‘s Alex Kapranos, is The Cribs’ third studio album and features a guest appearance by Johnny Marr.

The Cribs also released a digital EP through iTunes earlier this month that features remixes by The Postal Service and a live video for the song “Our Bovine Republic.” The EP will be available in wider distribution March 8.
