Crywank is James Clayton trying as hard as he can to do some folk-punk influenced acoustic music with no previous experience playing guitar. He does this with the help of his friends (often Samuel Chichuta), and with a lot of persistence. Most of his songs are about getting up, going to bed, irregular heartbeats and cats. The name Crywank comes from a nickname a friend gave James due to his over-the-top displays of sadness.
