In conjunction with our bros This is Music Rockfeedback are proud present to you lovely people a FREE GIG. How cool is that? You can say thanks later. In fact, you can buy us drinks when we see you there, as we sure as hell won't have the money to buy 'em
"You are f***ing fraudulent hipster fashion douchebags. You're making everything suck. You're like rats, killing anything decent in culture with your f***ing retrograde, ironic outlook on f***ing everything. Stop making music. You're killing it. Twats."
As vitriolic and aggressive in their music as in their cultural outlook, Crocodiles make dirty, melody driven tracks much like Jesus and the Mary Chain or Velvet Underground, but with more of a synth-driven pop bent. Jerking between Rapture-esque post-punk, dance rock, and slow burning synth-pop whilst always keeping their musical toes dipped in noise and darkness.

Like Liars between They Threw Us All in A Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top and They Were Wrong So We Drowned, Human Hair write darkly witty, self-aware post-modern poems over squeals of a-tonal guitar and ring modulated synths; the kind of post-post punk that is more of darkness than light, like an evil disco, or like listening to your favourite record as you run down a set of badgers. Horrifying, but darkly rhythmic.
Colours are London by way of Bournmouth's answer to the Pale Saints. They make uplifting alt-rock with a ferocious and impassioned edge that propels them out of the no-fi and into the hi-fi, celestial feedback tinged realm of lushly dischordant Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and attached underground heroes (like the Pale Saints but to push it into the modern - a filled out No Age).
