Biography

Although hailing from Charleston, SC, the Explorers Club conjure up memories of Southern California with a mix of pop melodies, vintage production, and Beach Boys-styled harmonies. The band formed in 2005, with 23 year-old Jason Brewer assuming lead vocals and songwriting duties. Multi-instrumentalists James Faust and David Ellis climbed aboard to help round out the band's harmonies, as did bassist/vocalist Wally Reddington. Drummer Neil Thomas and keyboardist Stefan Rogenmoser completed the band's lineup, and the Explorers Club began crafting a sunny sound that recalled classic pop/rock acts from the '60s. After securing placements on popular television shows like The O.C., the sextet attracted attention from Dead Oceans Records and ultimately joined the label in June 2007. Freedom Wind, their nostalgic debut album, arrived the following year. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide

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.
