CMJ Day 2
By Erik Myers and Trent Wahlfeldt
 
Captains’ Log – Day 2.

Crocodiles - “Summer Of Hate”

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

By Erik Myers
0.7 (out of 1)
About 30 years after dirty penniless teenagers gathered in San Francisco to celebrate love, a similarly scrappy Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell sat down in San Diego to celebrate cynicism, a characteristic common among their recession-smacked generation. “I was born into this life to a drunk father and rented wife,” [...]
