Beach Patrol

Beach Patrol is a three piece rock-n-roll outfit from Green Bay Wisconsin. The Members (Jeff Vandreel, Preston Ely, and Nick Marcantonio) have been playing together in one form or another since late 1999, in bands such as the Short Bus Kids, The Rumours, and the Vertebreakers, as well as many less notable side projects. In spring/summer 2004 Vandreel, Ely and Marcantonio formed Beach Patrol a band dedicated to song craft rather than gimmicks or goofiness, setting themselves apart from all of their previous efforts and developing their sound in a very rootsy rock n roll direction.
