THE CRYSTAL TEARDROP

The Crystal Teardrop released their debut album ‘The Crystal Teardrop… Is Forming’ on Rise Above Records on 2 May 2025. Performing to capacity crowds in London, Paris, Valencia and Liege, the band generated a high level of anticipation and media interest before the release of their all-analogue album produced by the legendary Liam Watson (Elephant, The White Stripes) which, full of the vibrant energy and musical experimentation that has become the band’s trademark, received excellent reviews from around the globe and built on their growing reputation for captivating high-energy live performances.

Inspired by a mutual passion for the sights, sounds and creative experimentation of the late 1960s, the band’s music demonstrates an innate affection for classic artists such as The Beatles and The Kinks alongside West Coast favourites including The Great Society, Love and The Byrds and Paisley Underground favourites The Bangles and The Pandoras as well as contemporary bands like The Lemon Twigs and Temples.
