Cause recently he was all like, "There is also a wide range of musical styles in the album. ‘Beach Pop Rock’ is a mix of the Ramones’ and the Beach Boys’ sounds, very much so. I always thought the Ramones were a souped-up, high-revved version of the Beach Boys anyhow."

Personally, I can hear the "beach" influence, but not really the "Beach Boys" in it. Definitely a summertime, driving to the beach vibe.

Maybe a souped up version of their early live shows minus the harmonies. Now, the STP song 'And So I Know' sounds like something BW would've written in 1969.

Now that you mention it, And So I Know totally sounds like something that would have been on 20/20 or Sunflower. My mind's blown.
