\"Crocodiles<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Formed in 2008 and\u00a0hailing from San Diego, CA, Brandon Welchez (Lead Vocals\/Rhythm Guitar) and Charles Rowell (Lead Guitar\/Backing Vocals) have a sound all their own, \u00a0yet\u00a0catchy and familiar. \u00a0Noisy, Garage Punk, lo-fi, poppy hooks from the live four\u00a0piece band also consisting of English musicians, David (Bass) and Robert (Drums), liken to Jesus and Mary Chain and\u00a0Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with a hint of The Ravonettes.<\/p>\n

\"Crocodiles<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They’ve released five full length albums since their formation and currently touring in promotion of their latest release, “Boys”. \u00a0“Boys”, a ten song, scuzzy pop filled record with soul, captures the Crocodiles sound, but also shows their growth as a band. \u00a0Something hard to do especially after following the 2013 fan and critic favorite, “Crimes of Passion”.<\/p>\n

\"Crocodiles<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seeing and hearing the Crocodiles live is an absolute must. \u00a0While the records are great on their own, the sound and energy they put out live, take it to a new level. \u00a0As punchy and in your face as the sound system will allow. \u00a0Charles’ swirling, guitar swinging Townsendesque persona keep your eyes moving right along with the jams while Welchez forceful, melodic bellows drive it in.<\/p>\n

\"Crocodiles<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you get a chance to see Crocodiles live, DO IT. \u00a0I promise you won’t regret it.<\/p>\n
