CROCODILES - GREETINGS FROM HELL

Nearly 30 years ago two teenage punks met at an antifascist gathering in their hometown of San Diego. A quick bond was formed over politics, poetry and music and the two very quickly became inseparable. Many projects followed, ranging from abrasive punk bands to harmonious 60s-indebted pop groups. For the last 18 years Charles Rowell and Brandon Welchez have been creating together under the name Crocodiles. Forever shape-shifting, the band has been celebrated and been maligned but they have never been boring. And they have been nearly impossible to pin down. Are they psych-punk? Noise-pop? Art-gaze? They are all of this and none of this and more than this. Put simply, Crocodiles are one of the great rock & roll bands of their generation. After nearly two decades, 9 albums (including 2026’s Greetings From Hell), and hundreds of shows around the globe the duo show no signs of letting up.
