Crocodiles is the name of more than one musical group. (For the group from New Zealand, see The Crocodiles.) 1) Crocodiles are a two-piece from San Diego, USA formed in 2008 playing lo-fi new wave, featuring former members of The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower. So far they have released a 7" on Zoo Music, and have two forthcoming split 7"s with a number of artists plus an LP entitled 'Summer of Hate'.
Parquet Courts is a band from New York City. At the center of the group is A. Savage, who at this point is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by three other musicians (“three quarters Texans and three quarters Pisces”) and describes the bands’ debut release as The Fall meets Neil Young. On the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”, this all makes sense. The quartet wonders through the American and British underground, picking away their favorite parts with confidence.
Formerly Stay Fucked. Tony Gedrich - bass/noise
Joe Petrucelli - guitar
Hank Shteamer - drums
There’s a big difference between nostalgia and education. Jaks was not a band to look back, to be sentimental or bitch about the good ol’ days. Theirs was a sound savage and full of foreboding doom—gothic punk rock, unruly, sharp-toothed. It was heavy and nasty and made you think of bands like The Birthday Party, Nation of Ulysses and Antioch Arrow. So, a collection of their work is education—rather than a tribute. It’s education because all your favorite bands suck dick and you need to know what it was like back when this crazy fucking band stalked the Earth.

Årabrot - True Norwegian Noise Rock Årabrot is the name of a waste dump right outside the small
west-Norwegian town of Haugesund. But most importantly Årabrot
is the name of the local institution for troubled youth where three
young Haugesunders first met and founded a band that could have
only one name; Årabrot.
While orthodoxy and predictably has taken its toll on the once so exciting
Norwegian Black Metal scene, a quite different breed of metal is

Further Notes Regarding Peel It
Peel another 40-hour-workweek off the stack gyrating in your hands. Strip it from the wad and make it drizzle on the sign twirler at the live-nude intersection - “We Buy Gold, We Sell Gold” the sign reads.
Peel the gold leaf off the holy headpiece, off the Temple Mount, off the Dome Rock. Lotto jackpots get shared.
Peel the radial Goodyear’s off pop’s Ford Exploder glazing doughnuts into every Texas lawn, sister. Peel the sod away, the drought sucks like a dry hump with two backs, brother.
