City: Bristol, England

Date of Performance: 14/11/23

TSW Review retrieval Hashtag: #tswcrybris

This was a stripped down headline performance of Jay Clayton on acoustic guitar & vocals, later supported by bass and drums, then switching back to solo, an approach I’ve seen before…think Evan Dando of The Lemonheads, (who has performed in a similar fashion) but in reverse, solo-band-solo over a live set rather than band-solo-band. The natural blend of lyrics & poetry half-sang, half-projected, with a guttural yell sit perfectly with gentle arpeggios, then abrasive Punk-Folk guitar. Vocal delivery is somewhere between AJJ and Jake Thackray. Jay Clayton’s guitar-abilities mesh with his vocals…percussive guitar conjuring up a full band, think Rodrigo Y Gabriela meets Sonic Youth, that builds in intensity and drops or skyrockets to serve the song. There were different tunes from various Crywank albums that generated a warm buzz amongst the audience, emotional ear worms burrowing as song after song gushed from the stage. Jay has a command of his emotions, with a great range in his creative pallet linked to his feelings and is able to distil these into visceral acoustic songs that resonate timelessly with the fans. Jay’s empathy, humility and humanity manifest in Crywank, part folk-rebel, part beat-poet, part kitchen sink dramatic storyteller, an emotionally hardcore spokesman for the misshapes.

Much love to Tom and Rosie for letting me stay with them the past few days. We’re currently giving the new ‘serious of unfortunate events’ series on netflix. It’s only just started, I am pretty buzzing from the theme tune though. My kinda thing. I’m hopefully gonna be recording some demos for the new album on monday and I’m currently trying to book some shows. We’re going to start gigging again in Feb, and I plan on having a busy March and April :) If you wanna help book us please e-mail crywankband@gmail.com We’ve got two shows confirmed for this year so far. We are playing in Glasgow on the fourth of Feb. (https://www.facebook.com/events/216505858810899/) and Manchester Punk Festival in April (https://www.facebook.com/events/794284377381495/). I’m trying to fill up the months right now. We should have more to announce tomorrow.  Some cool fan things that have popped up. Cerys Lacy drew me as a cat! Tom Gay who did the essay on TINYAEIS the other day also did a remix of ‘Song for a guilty sadist’ which you can hear here: https://soundcloud.com/ratbite/song-for-a-guilty-sadist-remix

Make a Donald trump joke about his ‘small penis’. Make a Katie Hopkins joke about how old they look. I find it weird when people are given so much ammunition with which to criticise these people yet they opt for irrelevant things to do with their physical being. Shallow.
