" was released on 7 May 2012. Ross is known by friends for his dry sense of humour and as a very down to earth person. When asked about being designated the band's drummer, Jarman said; "As far as me being on the drums, I’m sure it's purely to do just with the fact that I’m the youngest so I get the worst instrument. You know, like the oldest kid gets the biggest room; the youngest gets the smallest bedroom. The youngest gets the drum kit while the oldest gets a guitar and sing at the front. ..You know when you’re a kid, you don’t want to be the drummer. You want to be the frontman with the guitar. But no, I certainly don’t think it’s the worst instrument now."Spotlight On The Cribs , The Cornell Daily Sun
In March 2009, Ross was reported to have broken his left wrist in a skateboarding accident, whilst recording Ignore the Ignorant in Los Angeles, California. After only having one track laid down, he carried on and finished the last 11 tracks taking Vicodin in between takes, then having his wrist cast after finishing his album commitments 10 days later.
