Crocodiles to play Cambridge Haymakers
The Genre of noise-pop is one that many approach with caution. It’s a vague description of what a song might be like, and if anything, could be interpreted as annoying rather than enjoyable.
The definition of noise, after all, is “an unwanted sound.”
However, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pavement and Spiritualized have all chanced their arm at various fashions of noise-pop over the years, and in recent times a new breed of noise-poppers from America have come to the fore.
Bands such as Wavves, Dum Dum Girls and Liars have earned praise from musical press for their scuzzy, swirling style, and San Diego’s Crocodiles, who play The Haymakers in Cambridge this Wednesday, are the next in line to show off their noise.
The two-piece, (Charles Rowell and Brandon Welchez) formed in 2008, and are currently on their first UK tour, which includes 11 dates.
