Cray on is a noise pop duo based in Los Angeles. Formed in the early summer of 2014 and consisting of front man William J Ellingsworth formally of such popular groups hevy duty, unruly retards, and the meat and drummer Brian Rose formally of the groups no doctors, say thing, and the careerers, Like most great bands, they formed largely by accident. 'Willy' (as hes more commonly referred to as) was leaving Oakland to move to Los Angeles and asked his friend if he wanted to have lunch before he left town to which he replied "yea, but i live in LA." To which he responded "oh well shit! I'll see you soon". While riding the train Brian asked Him over text if he would like to start a project and Willy excitedly responded "FUCK YEA DUDE!" And after their very first attempt at making music together had already came up with a full set of songs and had settled on a name (the name coming from when an ex-girlfriend accused Willy of being 'cray' just as he was leaving Oakland) As quickly as they had joined they started playing shows and started growing an impressive fanbase due to their genre crossing sound base and relentless and ultimately fun stage presense. Their music, while hard to describe, has been compared to a wide range of artists spanning the genre globe going from being compared to such acts as Sonic Youth, Glen Branca, the Crucifux, Brian Eno, and to being compared to such pop acts as David Bowie, the Ramones, Iggy Pop, and The Beatles.

While still being new they are quickly becoming one of Los Angeles' premiere acts and are showing no signs of slowing down.
