Cry Club has never done anything by half, that’s for sure. Guitarist Jonathon Tooke (he/him) and vocalist Heather Riley (they/them) made their explosive debut as Cry Club back in 2018, and even back then they were turning heads with their surprising, textured take on modern punk-alt-pop. And yes, there’s a lot of genre-dashes when it comes to Cry Club. It’d be doing them a disservice to leave any of their studied references out. The breadth of their interests and influences, both within and without music, is remarkable, and their unquenchable thirst for featuring something more complex, more challenging, with every song they write is what keeps their fans utterly hooked.
