The Challengers (band)
The Challengers were an instrumental surf rock band started in Los Angeles, California, in late 1962. They represented a growing love for surf music and helped make the genre popular. Their debut album, ''Surfbeat'', was the biggest-selling surf album of all time and helped bring surf music from California to the rest of the world.
