Mike Love grew up under the Southern California sun where he soaked up a life of music, sports, and family traditions. Beginning his singing and songwriting career as a teenager, Mike and his cousin Brian Wilson, frequently sang at family get-togethers and holiday gatherings. Mike’s early influences, including his attendance at a culturally and socially diverse high school, served as inspiration to some of The Beach Boys most iconic songs. Throughout Mike's career, he has co-authored more than a dozen top ten singles, cementing The Beach Boys legacy alongside The Beatles and Michael Jackson, as the only artist to have produced twelve top ten singles within five years. Mike continues to write and record music 57 years after his legendary career began. Mike’s new album, 12 Sides of Summer, celebrates a season treasured by so many around the world and will be a must-have on your Summer playlist. “12 Sides of Summer was such a fun album to create. I loved bringing a fresh vision to some of my favorite artists’ songs and Beach Boys’ classics, while pairing them with a few of my new original tracks. This is an album for the whole family to listen to as they celebrate the summer season and warmer days in the sun,” said Mike Love.
A decade after minimal wave seemed to reach its peak, the Massachusetts duo proves the style’s continued vitality.
