The Beach Boys are an American rock band which formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961. The first band members were Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson (brothers), Mike love, Al Jardine. They started as a garage band by the Wilsons’ father and with the writing of Brian’s creative songs. The band started with performing unique surf songs that ended up gaining international popularity. Then on October 1st, 1962 their first album was released called Surfin’ Safari which contained five songs that were each under three minutes. It reached the United States peak chart and was ranked 32nd. After that they released 28 more studio albums. One album that was very popular and was ranked 2nd was their second album called Surfin’ U.S.A which was released in 1963. A couple of years Brian gave control of the band over to his band members and had to seek help because of his mental health and substance abuse issues. They produced many more albums, but were struggling to gain more popularity. During the 1980s things took a turn for the worst, original band members Dennis drowned and Carl died of lung cancer. Although this was a big tragedy, in the end the band sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, which also received a Grammy Award in 2011.
