The sound

The musical character

The Pyramids are a foundational name in surf rock, formed in Long Beach, California in 1961 by Will Glover, Skip Mercier, Steve Leonard, Tom Pitman, and Ron McMullen. Known for their instrumental hit Penetration, they helped propel surf rock into the mainstream and left an enduring mark on the genre. Their story weaves through beach movies, a landmark 1960s album, and later archival releases that keep their music accessible for new generations.
