Named after the short story by James Joyce, Two Gallants present a definitive fusion of punk-rock energy and folkish storytelling. The duo's existence began in 2002, performing guerilla shows and house parties, which brewed into touring and eventually a debut album with Alive records in 2004. The juxtaposition of their sound - their aggressive, drunken-sounding balladry - is something to behold.
