{"title":"The Hondells","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hondells were an American surf rock band, active primarily in the mid-1960s. Known for their sun-drenched, harmony-rich sound, they contributed to the popularization of the West Coast surf music genre. Their most notable hit, \"Little Honda,\" was a cover of a Beach Boys track and reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. Despite frequent changes in lineup, the band's distinctive sound remained consistent, significantly influenced by the California beach culture of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"my-buddy-seat-youre-gonna-ride-with-me-1","title":"My Buddy Seat\/ You're Gonna Ride With Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful copy grades Near Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- placeholder description content --\u003e","brand":"The Hondells","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48513408041193,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/hondells4.gif?v=1752166938"},{"product_id":"kissin-my-life-away-a-country-love-1","title":"Kissin' My Life Away\/ A Country Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere's a beautiful promo copy of this rare Hondells single.
