OK, now the hype!!Here is some of the comments we have recieved so far:
“On their second album, Dangerous Game, these boys from Portland, OR bring more of those authentic glam sounds for which they've become known, adding just a touch of maturity while still rocking the roof off the place! Excellent stuff!" -David Bash, The International Pop Overthrow Music Festival
“A breathless collection full of high energy songs colored by a punk vocal aesthetic and good old-fashioned rock 'n' pop chops. The hooks are strong throughout; the backing vocals are top-notch; the album flows like fine wine with a kick. I predict big things for this album. Anyone with even a passing interest in high-energy pop 'n' roll is going to go crazy for your latest effort!” -Alan Haber, Pure Pop Radio
"The CRY! represent everything that’s awesome, true and righteous with rock 'n roll. Their new album ("Dangerous Game") captures every ounce of effort and excitement that makes the music-loving soul in me stir and shake. It's the best thing I've heard in this new, young year of 2014 but the releases that will follow in the coming year are gonna have to work hard to supplant its present premiere positioning."
-Bruce Brodeen, (expired link)
This album is hot! What I've loved about this band from the very beginning is that its songwriting and vocal arrangements are steeped in the timeless traditions of oldies and doo-wop. In a day and age when high-tech trickery and turd-polishing gloss rule the productions of the music industry, it's great to hear a band focusing on writing great songs and actually singing well. -Lord Rutledge, Faster and Louder
“The CRY! has caught lightening in a bottle with their sophomore release: Dangerous Game. Their music is a refreshing blast of upbeat guitar riffs and vocals that made me feel like that first day of summer and their lead guitar work compliments the songs like the sun in the sky. They came to rock and that’s exactly what they do! If you’re a fan of music, there is no doubt that you’ll be a fan of The CRY! after listening to Dangerous Game.” -John Wood, WoodBangers Magazine
“The CRY! are back in full swagger on their second LP Dangerous Game. The band dissects the dangerous game called love every which way in 10 tracks that showcase a GS Scooter-full of guitar riffs, handclaps, and tight vocal interplay that includes backing harmonies, call-and-response volleys and shout-along choruses. We saw The CRY! play fantastic shows in Youngstown and Cleveland in 2012. Here's hoping they make the 2,500 mile trek again. We'll know where to go. - Barry Eisenberg , Dirty Phoenix Productions

About Tommy Ray (The CRY!)
Rolling Stone raves "the best in retro garage rock!" Extensive touring in 2012 and 2013 has secured loyal fans. The Cry! combine the best of British invasion rock n’ roll ,‘60s pop, and ’77 punk, in order to reinvent the two minute pop song for the next generation. The Cry! aren’t simply retro revivalists, they are forward thinking musicians who create innovative jams, that shred lead guitar hooks and bass riffs towards the future, while paying homage to their predecessors. Listen to The Cry! and don’t be surprised when “Modern Cinderella” or “I Think I’m in Love,” get stuck to the inside of your skull like over chewed bubblegum. Their self-titled full-length is stacked with one catchy hit after another. Don’t let their “pop” banner fool you, these boys are straight up rock n’ rollers. They'll make you question your sexuality and steal your girlfriend.
