The Beach Boys’ Al Jardine Shares New Song, “Wish,” Plans To Revive The Brian Wilson Band

Al Jardine, the multi-instrumentalist co-founder of the Beach Boys, has shared a new song, “Wish,” that has been in his vault for over thirty years. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Jardine disclosed that he wrote the track in the early 1990s as an ode to his Beach Boys bandmates, Brian and Dennis Wilson, and recorded it back in May with his songwriting partner, Larry Dvoskinin.

“It just dawned on me how much I missed them,” Jardine said. “Dennis, of course, had passed, and Brian was pretty much out of the action. I felt very emotional. It’s a good message because right now we’re all wishing that things were the way they used to be, especially at our age. Because our memories are wonderful, our musical memories are intact, and it’s just important to finish these great songs that we’ve written.” Jardine also disclosed that he intends on reviving the Brian Wilson Band, with Brian’s blessing. “Brian has agreed to allow me to use the name of his band to resurrect that incredible Brian band that we worked with so wonderfully for the last 20 or 30 years,” Jardine revealed.
