The Beach Boys have unveiled the music video for their new album's title track and lead single, 'That’s Why God Made The Radio'.
'That’s Why God Made The Radio' showcases The Beach Boys’ soaring harmonies in an upbeat, beaming ode to music’s radio champions around the world. "Radio was my whole education," says Brian Wilson. "Chuck Berry, Rosemary Clooney, The Four Freshmen, Phil Spector, Little Richard... To hear That’s Why God Made The Radio on the radio would be a thrill beyond belief, it really would.”
“I got a lot of my appreciation for all of the creativity in the world, in terms of music, through the radio,” says Mike Love. “For all of us who grew up in the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s and beyond, the radio has played such a huge, important part in our lives. When we were kids, we’d sneak out of the house and go and sit in Brian’s car and listen to the local radio stations on his car radio.”
Beach Boys Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks recently completed their recording sessions at Los Angeles’ Ocean Way Studios for 'That’s Why God Made The Radio', the band’s 29th studio album (including 2011’s 'The SMiLE Sessions'), the first in decades to feature all of the band’s surviving original members. Produced by Brian Wilson and executive produced by Mike Love, the album’s eleven new songs illustrate The Beach Boys’ unique and evocative West Coast story with the band’s timeless signature sound.
Beach Boys UK & Ireland Tour Dates are as follows:
Fri September 28th 2012 - Wembley Arena, London
