The Seaside Boys is the twenty fifth studio album by American rock band the Seaside Boys, launched on June 10, 1985. Produced by Steve Levine, the album is the band’s first after the drowning of founding member Dennis Wilson.^[6] It was additionally the band’s first album to be recorded digitally and the final launched by James William Guercio’s Caribou Information.^[7]

Vital response was blended.^[8] Writing in Rolling Stone, Parke Puterbaugh referred to as the album ‘fairly entertaining’, including ‘although not a world-beating act of creative reassertion, the LP does serve to showcase these superb voices, and to remind the world that no one does it higher — nonetheless.’^[9] Retrospectively, Levine mentioned that he remained “immensely proud” of the album and wished that it had bought higher.^[8]
