The Tormentos: "Dragstrip Night"

The Tormentos are a surf band from Argentina. They've taken the baton from the short-lived US surf resurgence of the Nineties and run with it. More power to 'em.

This video is boss. Especially the footage lifted from Bikini Beach and Endless Summer. It seems to really capture the whole vibe of modern-day surf/hot rod music.

My daughter asked what a Tormento is. "Is it like a tomato?"

Now where do we find their CDs here in the States?
