Cry Of Love

Cry Of Love was formed in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1989 by guitarist Audley Freed, bassist Robert Kearns, drummer Jason Patterson, and later vocalist Kelly Holland; the group emerged from the local rock scene and quickly attracted attention with their energetic live shows. Their breakthrough came with the single "Bad Thing" in 1993, which reached number 2 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart, followed by the Number 1 hit "Peace Pipe" the same year, establishing the band’s presence on the national stage. Cry Of Love released its debut studio album Brother in May 1993, produced by John Custer, and embarked on a 17‑month tour that solidified their reputation; the album was later reissued by Bad Reputation in 2016 with five bonus tracks. In 1994 frontman Kelly Holland departed and was replaced by former Lynch Mob and Warrant singer Robert Mason, leading to the 1997 release of Diamonds & Debris, which included tracks such as "Empty Castle" and "Sugarcane"; the album produced the single "Sugarcane", which peaked at number 2 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. The group disbanded shortly after the second album’s release.
