Watch: The Beach Boys Debut ‘That’s Why God Made The Radio’ Video

The Beach Boys have unveiled the video for the title track from their latest album, ‘That’s Why God Made The Radio’.

Clearly not big fans of the Buggles philosophy, the band said of the new song, “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.”

Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks will perform at London’s Wembley Arena on 28th September.
