NEON JESUS

NEON JESUS

If 07 were the year of the Wombat and 08, the year of the Fox, then surely 09 can be the year of the Crocodile. Hailing from San Diego, and coming from the ashes of The Plot to Blow up the Eiffel Tower, Crocodiles are electro, punky and poppy all at once. Currently doing a lap round the states with none other than Ladytron and The Faint they certainly are ticking all the right boxes.

Their songs generally have a lot of feedback, with a drum machine, synth and guitar also at the helm, they make a lot of noise for a two piece. Making an epic sound the songs can be quite catchy even from the first listen and have been compared to bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Check out the vid for their new single Neon Jesus it was made using photocopy’s of stills made into an animation and sums up the band nicely. Also check out 'I Wanna Kill' on their myspace its a kick arse tune.
