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.
