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'.
