I’ve grown up. I was 19 when we did Forgettable, so I was young as hell and a lot of the views I had in terms of depression and sorrow and grief were very different than the way that I look at them now.”

On February 22, 2016, whilst at Nottingham's Rock City, the band announced the release of their next 7", titled It Kindly Stopped For Me. Cam, stated in a series of tweets that each of the four songs on It Kindly Stopped For Me is dedicated to a friend that he has lost and how while he was able to better his mental health, he struggled with finding ways to also help others around him.

This year, they released their last album called You're Not As _____ As You Think.

“There’s so many people having drug problems—and a lot of bands who play it safe and don’t want to talk about it,” Cam explains. “I think it’s important to be shown in modern music. I like to be honest about my past and talk about things that have had me down. As a lyricist, you are responsible for the people who care about your music.”

Now, they´re on tour, so you can see the tour dates on their Facebook.

Crywank

Today, I´m going to talk about Crywank, whose album 'Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday And Everyday Is Stupid' was chosen for “Album of the month”.

Crywank is a folk-punk band from Manchester, England. They mostly write sad songs.


Biography

Started in 2009 with James Clayton attempting to do some folk-punk influenced acoustic music with no previous experience playing guitar. The first album "James is going to die soon" was inspired by a painful break up. James said  "I wrote these songs out of frustration and sadness and they ended up making me feel a lot better, I hope they have a similar effect on you".

In 2012 Crywank released his second album 'Narcissist On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown'. Described as "a collection of paranoid songs mostly about me trying to understand my own sadness along with the concept of sadness as a whole. “

In late 2012 Dan Watson joined Crywank on percussion, and in early 2013 they released tour demos for their third album 'Tomorrow Is Nearly Yesterday And Everyday Is Stupid' .

In 2014 Tom Connolly joined on bass, Crywank is now a full band. James continues solo recordings under the name JC and The Nobodies.

Now, they´re on tour. You can see the tour dates on it Facebook.

A curiosity is that the name Crywank comes from a nickname a friend gave James due to his over-the-top displays of sadness. His Mum tells her friends he's called 'Tearjerk'.
