Crocodiles, the duo formed in San Diego in 2008 by Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell, after the breakup of their previous bands Some Girls and The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, became some of the standout moments of the revival wave of Punk-Pop, Garage, Bubblegum and Ramoneo that flooded the scene in the 10’s. Their sound has typically been compared to The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Archies and Tommy James & The Shondells. In 2009, they released their debut album, Summer of Hate, which received positive reviews and allowed them to gain recognition in the independent music scene. With their distinctive blend of alternative rock and psychedelic, Crocodiles has managed to captivate a loyal fan base and left a mark on the independent music scene. Since then, they have undertaken numerous tours, several lps, singles and compilations such as The Complete Shitty Times, created during the pandemic, which basically was a collection of covers among which we find covers of hits by people like Robyn Hitchcock, Madonna, Lou Reed and even Alaska and Dinarama. Their latest release «Upside Down In Heaven» (Lolipop Records) and may be their best collection of songs so far, highlighting the singles Degeneration, Love Beyond The Grave and Rock ‘n’ Roll Graveyard.
