Nearly 30 years after two teenage punks met at an antifascist gathering in San Diego, Charles Rowell and Brandon Welchez are still at it — and still impossible to pin down.
Psych-punk? Noise-pop? Art-gaze? Sure, yeah, all of the above — and also none of it, and somehow more than all of it combined. For the last 18 years, Crocodiles have been one of rock & roll’s great shape-shifters: celebrated, maligned, and never — not once — boring. Their ninth album, ‘Greetings From Hell,’ is out April 24 via Invisible Hits (US) and Wild Honey Records (EU), and it picks up right where that restless energy left off.
The duo has already dropped the album’s lead single, Time Is Wasting Me, alongside a video directed by Sam Macon and edited by Eric Arsnow. It’s a proper introduction to wherever Crocodiles are headed next.
