Two Tears is Kerry Davis' "one lady band" that's been kicking around the world for years (debut album Enjoy Yourself released 2004), sometimes with a rotating cast of supporting musicians, playing a kind of modern garage/punk-influenced rock n' roll that she has described as "Bananarama meets Kim Deal meets ’60s garage rock." Davis has been strumming for 16 years, and played previously with the all-female punk outfit Red Aunts, had a stint as a drummer in The Screws, and was most recently in Beehive and the Barracudas.
