Cry Club is a queer pop-punk duo from Melbourne, Australia, who formed as a group in 2018. They released their debut album God I'm Such a Mess in November 2020.

Biography

The duo was formed in Wollongong in 2018, when vocalist Heather Riley wanted to form a Siouxsie and the Banshees/The Cure cover band.[1][2] Riley had known Jono Tooke since 2014, when they met during a university-organised trip to Japan and bonded over the animated series Over the Garden Wall.[1]

The band's debut single, released in 2018, was a response to the 2017 same-sex marriage plebiscite in Australia, inspired by conversations with relatives who accepted and loved them as family members, but were adamantly voting against same-sex marriage.[3] The group's follow-up single "DFTM", a song about people not respecting physical boundaries at concerts, was added to full rotation at Triple J in April 2019,[4] and the duo became the most played act on Triple J Unearthed in 2019.[5] The band relocated to Melbourne, and in 2019 released their debut extended play Sad, But Make It Fashion.[6]

The duo released their debut album God I'm Such a Mess in November 2020.[7] The album was nominated for Best Independent Punk Album or EP at the AIR Awards of 2021,[8] and the band was nominated for best breakthrough act at the 2021 Music Victoria Awards.[9]

Personal lives

The members of the band identify as queer.[10] Riley identifies as non-binary, and uses they/them pronouns.[1]
