So I'm listening to this song called "I Wanna Kill," by this band called Crocodiles. They're rad. They have an old 60's quality to their guitar styling. As I'm enjoying every moment of being immersed in their sonic tapestry, my wife yells at me from the couch, "Hey! This has the same guitar part as the song "And Then He Kissed Me!"
I quickly googled this claim. My wife was right. The Crystals performed the song, which included said guitar part. And it is the same lick! I'm not surprised that she was correct. My wife is very intellgent, and has a great memory. I am just extremely surprised she plucked that obscure little detail right off the top of her head.
In the Arts Beat section of The New York Times, under the heading, SXSW: Four Word Reviews, Wednesday Afternoon, Crocodiles are described as:
Stylish wall of throb.
This is a perfect description. Listen to these guys.
