Winter Crawford is an American singer and songwriter. In years 2010-2016 she was the vocalist for pop punk band Our Condolences until she left due to stylistic differences. In 2015 she started pursuing a solo career and has released 3 full length albums since then.
==History==
===The beginning and her time in Our Condolences===
Winter started writing and performing with the band at only 16. In many interviews, she described her first two years in the band as somewhat uncomfortable - she was often harassed by outsiders because of her immature lyrics and young age, although she was praised by the underground fanbase thanks to her creative capabilities and "excellent songwriting".

===First venture into a solo career (2015)===
Since 2014, Winter has been secretly working on her solo debut, Uncomfortable Personality which was announced mid 2015 and finally released at the end of the year. The record featured a dark pop/pop rock mixture, with a darker tone than the pop punk oriented albums she recorded with her band. The album features a variety of topics related to Winter's mental health such as her difficult upbringing and depression. The record was really well received and is considered a fan favorite even to this day. At the time, it was Winter's most mature album yet.
===Departure from the band (2016)===
"I left during the most difficult of my life. It was a very hard decision for me, but I think it was worth it in the end" commented Winter in an interview with Altpress "The second part of 2016 was easily the hardest time of my life. My mom was sick, my younger sister just passed away and I was really struggling with my mental health, I even considered ending it all (of which I am ashamed to this day). Music was pretty much the only thing that kept me alive at that point, and leaving the band somewhat helped me find a way to do things more for me, instead of the other guys." She officially left Our Condolences on 21st September, 2016. That being said, Winter and the rest of the band remain in good terms to this day. 
===Second solo album (2017)===
On the day 7th of August, 2017 Winter Crawford released her second solo album titled "Hard Truths And Conflicting Worldviews". "Writing and recording this album was a really therapeutic experience for me. Putting everything I've been through over the most ambitious music I've written yet really helped me make it out alive." said Winter in a 2017 interview with Altpress. 
"Hard Truths And Conflicting Worldviews" (as suggested by it's title) describes dark and really emotional topics. "I've made the record in a way that makes the listener experience what I've been through during the record process" Winter comments "Some things you hear on there can just be hard to accept."
The album tackles difficult topics such as: depression, lost of a loved one, addiction, suicidal thoughts.
