Crocodiles

It’s no surprise that Crocodiles' name is a direct reference to Echo & The Bunnymens debut album, because a lot of their sound derives from the Bunnymen and similar bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain and Velvet Underground. But Crocodiles resolutely put their own spin on things, tailoring their songs with catchy hooks, super fuzzed out guitars, feedback noise and reverberated vocals. “Welcome to the art-punk renaissance”, as declared by Rolling Stone magazine last year.
