Before The Beach Boys had their own sound, they were absorbing everything around them.
In this episode, we look at the music Brian, Dennis, Carl, Mike, David and Al grew up with, and how those different influences started to come together.
Using audio examples along the way, we explore some of the individual ingredients that would eventually come together to create the unmistakable sound of The Beach Boys.
We’ve also put together an Early Influences playlist, featuring the music discussed in the episode alongside additional songs and artists we didn’t have time to cover.
