<p>The band built an impressive live reputation in the underground circuit, but has since also played on the big stages. The band was formed by guitarist Charles Rowell and singer Brandon Welchez after their post-hardcore bands The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower and Some Girls disbanded. 'Neon Jesus', their first single as the duo Crocodiles, was heard by South Californian noise-pop legends No Age, who included the track on a list of their favourite songs of the year. This led to Crocodiles scoring a record deal shortly after the list was published, with the label Fat Possum Records.</p><p>To strike while the iron was hot, the band recorded their debut album themselves, and in April 2009, the band released 'Summer Of Hate'. The album enabled the band to enter the studio the following year to collaborate with Arctic Monkeys and Klaxons producer James Ford. 'Sleep Forever' was released in September 2010 to great acclaim, and since then, the band has remained one of the most respected indie rock acts of their time. They have collaborated with everyone, from Hollie Cook to Dan Treacy of The Television Personalities, and with the following the duo has, it seems like nothing can stop them from becoming true indie rock icons.</p>

The boys from the Crocodiles are back with their 8th album. The band combines punk-pop anthems with garage-rock, catchy fuzz-pop, danceable bangers and even hardcore death-rock.
