Florida garage punk that could have been massive if their single wasn’t banned from so many stations. Finally The Vandals get a retrospective, complete with their snowflake melting “Mustang,” three more studio nuggs and loads of live takes of their interpretations of The Kinks, The Knickerbockers, a batch of Beatles, and more!
The Vandals originated in Hollywood, Florida in 1964, the same year that saw The British Invasion kick into high gear, the price of a Coke and a hot dog was 49 cents, and the Ford Mustang was born. Several original songs distinguished The Vandals from the plethora of local groups at the time, and the risqué “I Saw Her In A Mustang” was the catalyst that created a huge South Florida following for the group. Sadly it was the incendiary title track’s racy lyrical content that likely kept the band from blowing up. Against these odds, The Vandals made an unmistakable mark on the 60s garage scene with a handful of rare singles and raucous live performances.
Thank you.
