Fuzz-loving D.C. indie-pop trio Teen Mom may sound like they could be from anywhere—-Ridgewood, N.J.? Athens, Ga.?—-but their beach pop (self-identified but accurate) gets points for proficiency. Honeyed, wistful vocals? Check. Melancholic, sandalgazing guitars? Oh yeah. But the hooks on Teen Mom’s new Mean Tom EP are solid—-the one in “I Wanna Go Out” is downright rousing—-and that’s 80 percent of the battle. (Though I wish some of the melodies leaned a little harder toward Prefab Sprout, a little softer in the direction of Death Cab.) The shore vibes are pure frosting.

Teen Mom performs with East Ghost tonight at 8:30 p.m. at Red Palace.
