Tony Rivers & The Castaways came together in 1962, in Dagenham, Essex. Their debut disc was a hard-driving rock number, but subsequent releases saw them veering towards a sound based upon close vocal harmonies, which ultimately led them to covering Beach Boys material.
The band suffered from several changes of personnel, briefly including Pete and Geoff Sweetenham (later with Grapefruit) on guitar and drums respectively, before they eventually evolved into Harmony Grass.
