Between touring with the Raveonettes and making their three-minute noisy lo-fi pseudo-surf-rock, the 'poncy divas' as their Myspace suggests were just that. San Diego's finest Crocodiles spoke to Dazed about getting their charges dropped...

WHAT'S…
… your description of your sound?
N/A

… so special about you, then?
That we have manners, thank you very much.

… your tip for 2009?
Come to a Crocodiles show.

… the story behind your name?
We thought that the name Crocodiles sounded like some sort of dark doo-wop band or something. Like if the Flamingoes had degenerate cousins. It's not from the Bunnymen album.

… your worst vice?
Junk food on tour. Regional junk food, actually.

… your dream musical collaboration?
Us playing in a band with Alan Vega and Skream producing it. Can you make this happen?

… on your stereo?
We're answering this from the road - the last thing we listened to in the vehicle before we stopped was Disc Two of the Trojan Dub Box.

… the best piece of advice you've heard?
Don't read your press.

… the one thing you’d kill for?
To have our charges dropped.

… your vision of the future?
Flying cars and shit like that.
