Sounds Like
We have are own sound. "See what you get when you mix Italian with Irish"!
The band for over 19 years have created their own place in the music world. For the most part the music is of the working class 1800s. Irish & Italian immigrants mixing with the other cultures that came to America. A lot of the Black Irish Songs have to do with working on the railroads, the mines, the high seas, and working on the firelines!
The Beach Boys are the true California Sound!
