The Astronauts were an American surf rock and rock and roll band that emerged during the early 1960s. Active from 1961 to 1968, the group became notable contributors to the surf rock genre that dominated popular music during that era. Their work exemplified the energetic guitar-driven sound characteristic of the period, blending surf rock sensibilities with broader rock and roll influences. The band's output during their seven-year run helped define the soundtrack of early-to-mid 1960s American youth culture before the group disbanded in 1968.
