band of the week: Crocodiles

San Diego's Crocodiles have a lo-fi edge unparalleled this side of Black Lips. Cutting through you like a rusty knife, their songs perfectly meld essential noise rock elements with dizzying chord progressions that sound like they've been through a washing machine filled with absinthe. Their debut album, Summer of Hate (2009) bridges the gap between Hüsker Dü and T. Rex, and does it in such a careless flourish that you cannot help but be drawn into the séance-esque beats.

RCRD LBL just blew me away. twice.

a lot of the stuff that the site posts is mediocre. some of it is simply g-d awful

but,
every so often,

they post some really amazing shit.

today, they have two really great tracks, by two pretty different bands.



POPO "There’s little we know about Philadelphia trio POPO other than that they are brothers and remind us how much we miss bands that sound like they are trying to destroy themselves and in doing so flirt with perfection. 'Pay the Price' is an unreleased song. We suggest you get familiar."

and



Crocodiles "The noisy garage pop of “I Wanna Kill”—an outstanding track from Crocodiles’ forthcoming LP Summer of Hate—man alive, get downloading!"

seriously, get downloading. you owe it to your ears =)

POPO - Pay The Price [mp3]

Crocodiles - Summer Of Hate [mp3]

personally, I prefer the latter song (I've had it on repeat for ages), but they're both great

what do you think?
