From Falls Church, Virginia, the Apollos went through several personnel changes while leaving behind demos, live tapes and two 45s as their legacy. I've read conflicting accounts of who was in the band when, so I'll lay out what seems to make sense and those who know for sure, please correct me.
The original band consisted of brothers Dave and Don Harney on guitar, Jim Price on bass, and Dave Elliot on drums. Jan Sylvester soon replaced Elliot on drums was himself replaced by Wayne Groves, and Jon Parisi came in on guitar. The band's repertoire leant heavily on surf numbers until they added Tommy Vorhauer on vocals.
A win at a local battle of the bands gave them studio time at Edgewood Studios in D.C., and they cut several sides, including early versions of That's the Breaks and Country Boy. They re-recorded these two for the Delta label in 1965.
Country Boy is a fine surf instrumental written by one of the Harney brothers. Surprisingly it has never been comped before. That's the Breaks has great drumming and nice fluid guitar work with a strong vocal by Vorhauer. I'm not sure who's playing the organ on this 45.
