Crocodiles : Summer Of Hate

San Diego’s Crocodiles are about to release their debut album, Summer Of Hate on Fat Possum, and are out on a pretty extensive U.S. tour right now to promote it. The band draws comparisons to Jesus and Mary Chain, Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3 and contemporaries like Dum Dum Girls, Crystal Stilts and Wavves. We’ve pretty much had the album on repeat today. A lot of this contemporary lo-fi reverb-laden fuzz rock is so hit-and-miss with me lately. Love this and Dum Dum Girls…Wavves, not so much.

Crocodiles - I Wanna Kill
Crocodiles - Summer Of Hate
Crocodiles - Neon Jesus

"A great new band from San Diego. This song is a real good kinda early eighties electro punk pop jam. It is super catchy." - No Age in reference to Neon Jesus.

Dum Dum Girls + Brandon Welchez (of Crocodiles) - Blank Girl:
