Pioneers of the California sound, The Beach Boys blended sun-soaked vocal harmonies with innovative studio craft to create some of the most beloved pop music of the 1960s. Their landmark album Pet Sounds — available now at Collide Records — is widely regarded as one of the greatest records ever made, pushing the boundaries of what pop music could be. Formed in Hawthorne, California, the group's influence on rock, pop, and studio production continues to resonate decades later.
