Beach Boy Bruce Johnston recently spoke to Billboard about the band's songwriting process for the new album, assuring fans that the album is comprised of all new material.

The current lineup of the Beach Boys features Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks.
That's Why God Made the Radio is out June 5.
