The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne, California, in 1961.

Al Jardine temporarily left the band in 1962 and was replaced by David Marks, who performed with the group until 1963.

(1965), the group's music gradually shifted from surf-oriented material toward more orchestral arrangements and studio-focused production. During this period Bria
