Welcome to the wild, weird, and whimsical world of Crocodyle, your new favorite four-piece out of Nashville. 

 

Crocodyle is an alternative rock group that's equal parts goof, grit, and heart. think green day and arctic monkeys dunking fountains of wayne's head in a toilet while cage the elephant and no doubt make out in the next stall over. The joy of performing is their foundation — frontman Hux Rittman, who grew up in Singapore and found his way to Tennessee by way of Boston, connected with drummer and Atlanta native Hays Thompson, and they got to work creating together, eventually filling out the lineup with Christi Landis (guitar) and allen keel (bass) who are dating which is cute. 

 

If Crocodyle can make a listener say, “I haven’t heard anything like that in a while,” they’ll consider it a job well done. More than that, though, the band wants people to feel good about themselves. There’s an undercurrent of optimism to Crocodyle, an act brimming with youthful energy, and that energy is contagious when the band performs onstage.

 

They aim to leave audiences amped up, refreshed, and feeling like they just saw someone onstage who related to them. “Someone’s on the same level as you,” frontman Hux says. “We just want people to feel a little less alone.” 

 

Ultimately, Crocodyle shines for their sincerity, whether when giving it all at a gig or bringing in new fans through playful TikToks.
