The Beach Boys («Бич Бойз») — американская рок-группа, известность которой первоначально принесли их ранние песни о пляжах, море и сёрфинге, однако, изменив звучание, они первыми выпустили в 1966 году концептуальный альбом « Pet Sounds », оказавшийся, по мнению многих специалистов, переломным в контексте развития рок-музыки 1960-х гг.

Осенью 1961 года Брайан Уилсон и его двоюродный брат Майк Лав сочинили песню о сёрфинге «Surfin’» по предложению брата Брайана Денниса Уилсона, занимавшегося этим спортом. Тогда же была сделана запись песни с участием Карла Уилсона и Алана Джардина — так была создана группа The Pendletones. Однако когда члены группы распаковали коробки с первыми отпечатанными экземплярами своего дебютного сингла «Surfin’», то обнаружили, что их название было изменено на The Beach Boys руководством Candix Records, посчитавшим, что оно более подходит тематике нового жанра. «Surfin’» вышел 3 октября 1961 года и занял 75 место в американском хит-параде.
