a small anti-folk duo from machester, england. they've been around for almost a decade, yet still aren't appriciated nearly as much as they should be. they've made 11 albums and dozens of songs. the best way i can describe their music is like a depressed partner or friend giving you a comforting hug while crying, even though they are the sad one. just a really good band :)
person 1: "hey, what's your favorite band ?"
person 2: "oh, i just discovered this pretty small band called crywank, i really like their stuff."
person 1: "well that's an interesting band name !"
