CRYWANK was started in Manchester by James Clayton as a solo project despite having no previous experience playing guitar, when they learnt their first two chords and wrote two songs (Welcome to Castle Irwell, Thomas Saunders Gang Chant). Lyrically focusing on the end of their first relationship whilst contending with moving away, and musically heavily influenced by American folk punk and anti-folk, their first album ?James is Going To Die Soon? became a cult favourite on the internet, both for its charm and many flaws.
Crywank began to play with and subvert the role of singer-songwriter. Shifting the focus from self-pity to self-criticism and fluctuating between hard-hitting confessionals to tongue-in-cheek deconstructions resulted in a paranoid ?sad-but-fun? sound. Dan Watson (ex-GNOD, Denim & Leather) joined the band in 2012 on percussion and began to implement approaches and influences not often seen within ?anti-folk?, at points going into d-beat and blastbeats.
We're a live music venue that puts on punk and indie bands and various club nights.
The Cavern was opened in 1991 as a live music venue - we've put on thousands of bands inc. Muse, Colddplay, Biffy Clyro, La Roux, Royal Blood + more
