So let's see what we have here:
1. 2 piece band from So-Cal
2. Noise pop
3. Signed to Fat Possum
4. Just released their debut LP
And yet this is not a Wavves review, boy that is refreshing. San Diego's Crocodiles have been making some noise and have blown me away with their far less abrasive brand of noise pop. While Wavves cranked out gruelingly loud and harsh noise pop, Crocodiles tone is down big time though and end up creating a sound that is much more akin to The Jesus and Mary Chain with a little bit of summer So-Cal pop music mixed in for good measure. At 30 minutes it never feels like a chore to sit though, and the influences are pronounced but never detract from the overall product. Which is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the similar releases that have come out of late. While there is definately a nasty side, it still has a solid core of upbeat California summer time punk.
