Formed in 2005, Killer Crocs of Uganda deliver hard rock with no apology, and no pretense. This is honest stuff.

Bassist Mark Macina, drummer Brian Bassett, and singer/guitarist Lance Ellisor all hail from Clear Lake, Texas, in the shadow of the Johnson Space Center. High school buddies, they experimented in various bands until, as Lance puts it “College and life happened.” Nearly 20 years later, inspired by tech career drudgery and more than a little Halloween beer, they rediscovered the passions that drew them to the Live Music Capital of the World.

Guitarist Scott Lambie has asserted that Austin is the best city in the universe. “Austin is the best city in Texas. Texas is the best state in the country. The United States is the best country on Earth. The Earth is the best planet in the universe. It follows that Austin is the best city in the universe.”

Scott, a high desert compadre from out in the west Texas town of El Paso, offered just the right guitar layer to round out the full sound the others were looking for: the hard rock foundation of Foo Fighters and Soundgarden, with the soaring textures of Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins, and due deference paid to the rock & punk gods of the 70s and 80s that they all grew up on.

In the summer of 2007, Killer Crocs of Uganda took a break from performing to record their first album. Recorded at Jacketweather Studios in Austin, the CD, Almost Lost Tomorrow, confirms that there’s no need to compromise between melody and driving hard rock. And with a range of styles that varies widely – from a punkish opening track “Object of My Desire”, to a Johnny-Cash-on-amphetamines “You Can’t Bring Me Down”; and from the space metal “Heretic Assaulter” to the tough lullaby of the closing track, “Mirage” – this album clearly shows that KCoU refuse to succumb to the opiate of genericness, emo pop rock or nu metal.

Somewhere, Michael Berryman is smiling.
