Comprised of veterans of bands as diverse as Myssouri, Lithonia Power Train, the Positrons, Local Color Movement, and Purplexia, Crybaby emerged from nowhere in early 2001 to quickly become a darling on the Atlanta music scene. Buoyed by a high-profile first-gig and by several self-released EPs, the band made a splash on local radio and in local venues.

Crybaby's sound is characterized by a textured, dark, Western sound (think Brian Eno meets a spaghetti western soundtrack!), with a balance of telecaster-twang and lush-layered riffs. Superimposed on top of the soundtrack is Kelly Sirmans' majestic vocals, which have drawn comparisons to P.J. Harvey and Beth Gibbons.

Crybaby issued three self-released EPs during the course of 2001. A fourth EP, No Means Yes, was released on Two Sheds in February 2002.

Crybaby decided to disband at the end of 2002. Daniel Winn is now a member of Hot Young Priest, while Mark plays with No River City and A Fight to the Death. C.J. now leads americana/eurogypsy band A Fight to the Death. C.J., Daniel, and Mark all occasionally play with Goodnight Insomniacs.
