Crocodiles are a noise pop/indie pop band from San Diego, California, US. The group was formed in 2008 by core members Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell after the break-up of their former punk bands Some Girls and The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower. Crocodiles gained exposure when the Southern California noise pop band No Age included one single of them, “Neon Jesus” in a list of the year’s best songs. After that comes a meteoric career, with their first album, “Summer of Hate”, in April 2009. They’ve released 7 albums so far and one EP “Fires Of Comparison” in 2019. Crocodiles’ sound has typically been likened to The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Archies, and Tommy James & The Shondells.
