 The Crocodiles top 20 hit single in New Zealand was "Tears" in 1980 from debut album, "Tears"; a second album, "Looking at Ourselves", appeared in November.
 The band relocated to Australia in February 1981 but disbanded in July without further releases.
Forest Stream is a symphonic black / doom / Gothic metal band formed in Chernogolovka, Russia in 1995.
 The band draws inspiration from long and harsh Russian winters.
 Stylistically, the band's epic sound combines the atmosphere of the British doom metal of the 1990s and of the Norwegian black metal.
 The band's lyrics revolve around the themes of sorrow and hopelessness.
 Their first album, "Tears of Mortal Solitude" was released in early 2003 and was warmly received by the critics.
 In May 2007, the band went on their first international tour in Ukraine.
 In September 2007, the band was signed by Candlelight Records and recording for their second album, "The Crown of Winter", commenced soon after.
 The band are currently believed to be unsigned with no mention of a new album, but are still active.
The Tears were an English rock band formed in 2004 by ex-Suede bandmates Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler.
 The duo were a much anticipated reunion and music critics praised their first concerts and debut album, "Here Come The Tears".
 However, the project was short-lived as they disbanded in 2006, which allowed Anderson to focus on his solo career and Butler to become a full-time producer.
Country Joe and the Fish was an American psychedelic rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1965.
 The band was among the influential groups in the San Francisco music scene during the mid- to late 1960s.
 Much of the band's music was written by founding members Country Joe McDonald and Barry "The Fish" Melton, with lyrics pointedly addressing issues of importance to the counterculture, such as anti-war protests, free love, and recreational drug use.
 Through a combination of psychedelia and electronic music, the band's sound was marked by innovative guitar melodies and distorted organ-driven instrumentals which were significant to the development of acid rock.
Tears for Fears are an English pop rock band formed in Bath in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith.
 Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate, they were initially associated with the new wave synthesiser bands of the early 1980s but later branched out into mainstream rock and pop, which led to international chart success.
 They were part of the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US.
The Two Tears are an American garage rock band formed by Kerry Davis previously of the all-girl punk group Red Aunts.
 She also played drums in the Mick Collins fronted The Screws (In The Red Records).

 Two Tears was originally conceived as a one woman band.

Tuxedomoon is an experimental, post-punk, new wave band from San Francisco, California, United States.
 The band formed in the late 1970s at the beginning of the punk rock movement.
 Pulling influence from punk and electronic music, the group, originally consisting of Steven Brown (born Steven Allan Brown on August 23, 1952, in Chicago, Illinois) and Blaine L. Reininger, used electronic violins, guitars, screaming vocals and synthesizers to develop a unique "cabaret no-wave" sound.
 Bassist Peter Principle (now Peter Dachert, deceased in 2017) joined the band and in 1979 they released the single "No Tears", which remains a post-punk cult classic.
 That year they signed to Ralph Records and released their first album, "Half-Mute".
 Eventually Reininger left the group and Tuxedomoon relocated to Europe, signing to Crammed Discs and releasing "Holy Wars" in 1985.
 The band separated in the early 1990s, only to reunite later that decade.
 They all have remained together since releasing the album "Cabin in the Sky" in 2004.
The English pop-rock band Tears for Fears have released six studio albums, along with numerous singles, compilations and videos.
 Formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, the duo signed to Phonogram Records in the UK and released their first single the same year.
 It was not until Tears For Fears’ third single, “Mad World” (1982), that they scored their first hit, and their platinum-selling debut album "The Hurting" (1983) was a UK number one.
