The Explorers Club

The Explorers Club are a Pop rock band from the coast of South Carolina. They are a 6 man band whose debut album was released by Dead Oceans. Their music is almost entirely influenced by the vocal harmony styles and production of The Beach Boys.[1][2][3][4] They also draw some influence from classic rock and roll arrangements as made popular by The Beatles, Chuck Berry, Phil Spector, The Zombies, and The Byrds. The Explorer's Club continue the tradition of bands that loyally honor the style and sound of The Beach Boys, such as The Rip Chords and Bruce & Terry.
