The band’s always been hand with an anthemic crush and 'Upside Down In Heaven' adds another windows down sunshine cruiser to their catalog." - Raven Sings the Blues "The song packs in hook after hook in a new wave/power pop arrangement that finds the group embracing a bright, sunnier sound—a top-notch single to kick off spring." - Treblezine "'Love Beyond the Grave' applies punk’s driving recklessness to a playful three-minute bash shrugging off the looming threat of death—if not embracing the romance of the concept." - FLOOD Magazine "'Degeneration' tips its hat to The Who while still delivering that signature Crocodiles rock n' roll sound." - Brooklyn Vegan Today finds the arrival of Crocodiles' (Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell) brand new LP, Upside Down In Heaven (via Lolipop Records).  As described by Russell Cash: "After a prolonged hiatus, Crocodiles finally reconvened at Quiksilver Studios in St. Jean de Luz, France in the fall of 2021 to get their new album Upside Down In Heaven down on tape. Maxime Smadja (Rixe, Boss) was entrusted with production duties and brought his signature greasy sheen to the proceedings. Joining the party were Atef Aouadhi and Diego Dal Bon on bass and drums. In typical Crocodilian fashion, the album zig-zags cohesively from one style to the next. There are straight-up punk-pop anthems (Love Beyond The Grave), mutant garage-rock (Surfing With Death), infectious fuzz-pop (Forever Walk Alone), dance-floor ready bangers (Deadbeat) and even hardcore death-rock (Rock & Roll Graveyard). The songs are direct, cut to the chase and leave listeners thirsting for more." Following previous singles "Degeneration" and "Love Beyond The Grave," today, the band also places emphasis on the record's title track and final single, "Upside Down In Heaven." On the single, Charles Rowell wrote: "Maybe I was chasing that elusive Stiff records sound or simply trying something that would make Westerberg smile. Either way it’s pure pop for heads who appreciate lyrics and melody. It’s a little sad but triumphant and true. If you’ve ever felt like you’re a little too far from home, like you’ve chased the dream until it’s turned into a nightmare, then here’s another song burning with regret and wasted wisdom." Continuing on the track's accompanying video, Brandon Welchez wrote: "We were very excited to get the opportunity to work with our old friend, the very talented Sam Macon, on this new video. He directed two of our videos in the past but more than a decade had passed since we collaborated. I had a loose idea of what I wanted. The challenge was that I’m in LA and Charlie is in Paris, so we needed to figure out a clever idea we could shoot without being in the same place. Sam helped us polish the idea and directed me in person in LA and Charlie over zoom. With some green screens and clever editing we got what we needed!" Crocodiles' new LP, Upside Down In Heaven,  is out via Lolipop Records. Stay tuned for more, coming soon.
