San Diego's Crocodiles are readying the release of their upcoming Crimes of Passion LP with the unveiling of the first track, "Cockroach".

The band have jumped straight into Crimes of Passion off the back of last years Endless Flowers and opted for the help of Sune Rose (The Raveonettes) Wagner. "Cockroach" is a far cleaner sound for Crocodiles. It feels like that's all we ever say about the band, but their snarly punk sound gets more refined on each album and this one is no different. With their trademark organs still in place, it's yet another step in the right direction.

Crimes Of Passion is set for an August 20 release on Frenchkiss Records.
