Keep an eye out for the new Cryns #3 t-shirts, which will be available on this site in June! The shirts will feature “the guys” and “Roark” from the album cover. I’m not planning on having any words on the shirts. Let me know if you have any other ideas!!
The Ditty Bops
I’m really digging this band, The Ditty Bops. I’ve only heard 6 of their songs, which are posted on myspace in either audio or video format, and they are all super awesome.

This operation that is Cryns #3 is merely a part of the greater music scene in town. I’m not trying to be famous. I am merely hoping to help build an environment that we… Continue reading 1/4 of the way there!!!

My brother, Noah, who is much more hip than me, plays drums and bass in the band. Together, Noah and… Continue reading What it's like to be Cryns #3
