Composed by and produced by Brian Wilson, with lyrics by Wilson and Mike Love, the band’s first UK number one was released as a single on October 10, 1966.
LONDON—Just days after the discovery of several previously unreleased Beatles recordings in the attic of Abbey Road Studios, fans and critics across the globe have renounced their enthusiasm for the rock and roll band that was once revered by millions. "This unfortunate find has forced music historians to completely reassess the talents of John, Paul, George, and Ringo," said Beatles...
The Beach Boys have been stalking me lately. And, I’m not saying Brian Wilson has pulled a Margaret Mary Ray or something. I’m just saying that everywhere I turn, they’re on the radio or people are talking about them or I see a cool product or whatever. I guess it’s not really all the surprising though. I mean, they are the greatest American pop band, well, EVER. This post serves...
Ed Droste is settling into the bar of his east London hotel with his Grizzly Bear bandmate Daniel Rossen, to attempt to explain their sky-rocket of a year. All but unknown last spring, the band's third album Veckatimest went straight into the US top 10 and UK top 30. Their fans include Paul Simon, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, who giddily announced on stage that they were his favourite band, and Jay-Z,...
One of Brian Wilson's most beautiful arrangements from the classic "Pet Sounds" album doubles as a rallying call for print journalists around the country.
It started with a drumbeat. No, scratch that. It started with The Drumbeat. In the almost fifty years since Be My Baby first forced Brian Wilson to pull his car over and rethink his entire career, The Drumbeat has reared its head more times than it's worth counting; but, bearing in mind Just Like Honey's soporific come-on, and the happy-go-lucky cutesyism it introduced on Eighties Fan, it's rarely...
For the follow up to her fine 2007 album Lullagoodbye, Taylor Mills has once against enlisted the help of her Brian Wilson Band colleague Scott Bennett, as well as her husband, drummer Todd Sucherman. Bennett, who was a key collaborator on Wilson’s most recent album That Lucky Old Sun, is responsible for eight of the [...]
With this debut album I feel that I should be the one offering thanks. Firstly, it jumped the gun and was released early, and secondly it’s completely free to get your mouse-clicking, downloading fingers on. ‘Thank You’ boasts an essence of the quintessential English sound whilst simultaneously paying homage to an array of genres. ‘Peace & Quiet’ opens and weaves seamlessly...
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE Brothersport Domino INDIE / ROCK / ALTERNATIVE 10" It's been almost a year since preliminary playbacks of Merriweather Post Pavilion started, and even after all this time it's still one of the freshest albums of 2009. Now, as the year draws to a close, the band release 'Brothersport', the third single (and final track) from the album. It's an enchanted dose of utterly unique,...
It should have all been so easy (easy! easy!). Produced with no little grandeur by G!YBE figurehead Efrim Menuck, Do You Like Rock Music? was supposed to have been the album that made British Sea Power go stratospheric, and with Waving Flags, they'd got their foot in the door. All they needed was one final charge, and when 'No Lucifer' was announced as the follow-up, success was assured...so they decided...
This Monday sees Nashville-based six-piece The Young Republic wrap up their UK tour at Shoreditch's Cargo in support of their recently released second album, “Balletesque”. Fans of the End of the Road Festival are already likely to familiar with their charms as, whilst notably absent from this year’s line-up, they were pretty much unavoidable in the previous two festivals, playing...
Brian Wilson Bergen PAC , in NJ!!! Rocktober 27th Beach Boy wunderkind Brian Wilson has certainly been around, but in between all his surf's ups and surf's downs of playing in a sandbox and helping to give birth to Carnie Wilson , he's found the time to dance, dance, dance and have much fun, fun, fun, while providing the rest of us with enuff good vibrations to last 282318129 lifetimes. Gawd only knows...
