The Shandells were a garage rock band from Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights, Illinois, active in the mid-1960s. The group comprised Joe Stanley (lead guitar), Sean Ryan (bass), Tom Nyquist (guitar), and Tom Blomquist (drums). In August 1965, they released their sole single, "Caroline" backed with "Mary, Mary," on Sizzle Records. Both tracks have since been featured on the "Back from the Grave" compilation series, highlighting their enduring appeal among garage rock enthusiasts.
