The Ramontures - Surf cover versions of Ramone songs
The Ramonetures are the brainchild of Phantom Surfers guitar genius Mel Bergman. On this, their debut album, the band takes on the task of reinventing 16 classic Ramones tunes - in a style that would have done the Ventures proud! In other words, it's all instrumental, baby!
