The Vandelles are New York's (if not the world's) finest purveyors of filth, fuzz and harmonies all wrapped up to make you simultaneously swoon at the melodies and your head vapourise from the gorgeous noise. They define the distaff side of the Noir Rock sound.
The Vandelles take aspects of Link Wray and The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Ronettes and My Bloody Valentine, Buddy Holly and The Ramones to create a sound thats uniquely theirs.
While crooning softly in the background they take old school rock and roll your parents used to listen to and run it through screaming blown out amplifiers.
Having played all over the US, The Vandelles have developed an infamous live show that is an audio and visual assault. This show earned them a full US tour with The Warlocks and several festivals including CMJ, SXSW and Psych Fest.
Garage cats, cowboy beat poetry, and the Wall of Sound.
Turn your eyes inside out and dig the vacuum.
This is Noir Rock and Roll.

Reviews "They fuse only the best and cook it up with their own style, explosive sound, and an alluring essence so hot you can’t help but dig their shit." @ Grimy Goods
"The Vandelles have staked an early claim for my favourite new band of 2010 with their apocalyptic indie-fuzz. Another bunch of New Yorkers with a penchant for fusing sixties girl group melodies with ear-shredding distortion" @ Toonwaves
"If there was ever an aural equivalent of being caught inside as a massive set rhythmically pounds your head into washing-machine oblivion, this is it." @ Pop Matters
"As the final note of the EP comes to an end you’ll feel one hundred times cooler because through their music The Vandelles will have created you the perfect Noir/Surf Rock n’ Roll persona." @ Athens Exchange
