It’s time to get sad and stay rad! Crywank are coming down to Australia for their second trip back since their roaringly successful 2017 debut. With a folk-punk influenced style, this duo captures angst and self loathing with insightful and original lyricism and expresses it with highly emotive use of sound.
Formed the same day songwriter James Clayton learnt their first chord, Crywank have developed over the years from being an underground outsider folk act, to an acoustic punk band with a cult following. Initially a cathartic solo project, they’re now a two-piece band that lyrically fluctuate between self-aware and self-parodying whilst having an overarching focus on sadness and mental health. Percussionist Dan Watson joined Crywank by their third album Tomorrow is Nearly Yesterday and Everyday is Stupid which has accumulated over five million streams since it’s ‘name-your-price’ release three years ago and has amassed over 1000 cover songs and remixes.
Their tour will feature songs from their monstrous 10-year discography including tunes from their sixth and latest album, Wearing Beige On A Grey Day.
Based in Manchester, England, Crywank have been booking and promoting DIY shows and tours for themselves and other bands for several years around the UK and Europe.
