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 Label. Their music is almost entirely influenced by the vocal harmony styles and production of The Beach Boys.[1][2][3][4][5][6] 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.
