Cockroach from Crocodiles

We love the bite and tail of these San Diego reptiles. The following is from their new one, Crimes of Passion, due to drop August 20 on Frenchkiss Records. Thanks to Kip Kouri at Tell All Your Friends for the headsup.



Update: The download link has been removed from the above, but you can download it here.

And here's one we've been enjoying for awhile now. It's from their previous Frenchkiss excelente, Endless Flowers. Love the Teutonic count-off (and that's an order, jah?)!

Crocodiles - Sunday (Psychic Conversation #9) mp3

or, failing that,

just go away.

Never, ever accuse me of not being in touch with my inner wuss (or I'll weep), and this post proves it. Kind of a staff/distaff thing, too, though not necessarily in that order. The hardest-hitting song is by Girl Band, if that tells you anything. Bon weak-end, valued visitors.
