Grunged out surf rock from the other coast

The Vandelles do their best to follow bands like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with extra grunge out guitars and surf side melodies.  I really dig the band's rough around the edges sound.  The kind of songs I can see in the next David Lynch movie. They give me a 50's vibe with motorcycles, muscle cars and switchblades. 

"Lovely Weather" is one of my personal favorites from The Vandelles.  This video really represents that noir infused sound.  I really like the fuzzy guitars with the muddy vocals.


"Get Down" is from their album Del Black Aloha.  It's a bum rush of fuzzy guitars and distortion.  I love a good wall of sound.  I need a good car chase to go with this music.


"Summer Fling" is one of the tracks that really gives that surf vibe. It's hard to believe these guys are from the east coast when you listen to this song.  Summer might be over but the fling can carry on.  Not sure what's up with this video.
