The Vandelles don't surf!

Picture the low-fi reverbed vocals of The Raveonettes. Add some quick, down n' dirty guitar licks a la Ramones. Now send it surfing with Dick Dale and his surf rock sound. What do you end up with? The Vandelles. Retro sounds packaged up in a spiffy five track self-titled EP. Get it now to listen to while watching Apocalypse Now and screaming "Charlie don't surf!"
