History

Crying was formed in May 2013 at State University of New York at Purchase.[5] The band was formed by Elaiza Santos (Vocals), Ryan Galloway (Guitars/Programming), and Nick Corbo (Drums). In 2013, the group released their debut EP Get Olde via Double Double Whammy.[3] The band later released a remix EP of Get Olde with additional new tracks and b-sides titled Return to Olde World: Demos and B-Sides.

In 2014 Crying released their second EP, Second Wind via Bandcamp. The band then signed to Run for Cover Records and reissued their first two EPs in a compilation, Get Olde/Second Wind.[3] In 2015, Corbo departed the band to focus on his other band, LVL UP. In March, the band released a standalone single, "Patriot", via the band's Bandcamp, in which a remixed version would later be featured on the band's debut LP.

In August 2016, the band announced their debut LP, Beyond the Fleeting Gales, would be released by Run For Cover on October 14, 2016. On August 24, 2016, the band released the track, "Wool in the Wash", from the upcoming LP.[6] YouTube music critic Anthony Fantano has noted they removed the chiptune with Beyond the Fleeting Gales and in his opinion Crying sounds more diverse.[7]

In March 2017, the band performed a live session on Audiotree and it was released via streaming services.[8]
