## History
### Formation, first years and hiatus (2015–2017)

In August 2015, Nick Santino, former frontman for A Rocket to the Moon, began working with producer Sean Silverman (of The Technicolors), writing and recording demos after A Rocket To The Moon disbanded. The two realized that "people might really dig what we were making" and started asking other bands if they could join them on tour. Santino also reached out to his friend Reeves Power if he wanted to be involved with the group, which he did. The original line up of Beach Weather consisted of Nick Santino (vocals), Reeve Powers (bass), Ian Holubiak (lead guitar) and Austin Scates (drums) after being invited by the Maine to open for their Free For All 2015 Tour. On August 2, the group premiered their debut single, "Wolf" for streaming. Their debut EP, What a Drag was written by Santino and Silverman, and released on August 28, 2015, via 8123.
On February 3, 2016, Beach Weather released a music video for "New Skin". In February-March 2016, Beach Weather supported Sleeping with Sirens through Europe and the UK on their Madness Tour alongside This Wild Life and Mallory Knox. In May 2016, the band supported PVRIS on their North America Headlining Summer Tour. On June 28, 2016, the group released a music video for "Swoon". In September 2016, Beach Weather toured with Against the Current on their In Our Bones World Tour alongside As It Is. On September 14, 2016, Beach Weather released "Someone's Disaster" as the lead single from their forthcoming second EP. On October 13, 2016, "Chit Chat" was streamed exclusively through Clash, before it was released as the second single from the EP the following day. Their second EP, Chit Chat, produced by Alex and Sean Silverman, was released on November 4, 2016, via 8123.
In March-May 2017, Beach Weather supported The Maine on their Lovely Little Lonely tour in the US, along with The Mowgli's. On July 14, 2017, the band released their EP, Basement Sessions and a day later announced that they will be taking a hiatus indefinitely. Speaking in depth of their hiatus in a 2022 interview with Alternative Press, Santino revealed that they were "leaning into bad habits" and "started to not really like" who they were becoming. He also wanted to focus on himself as he got married around that time and began a career in graphic design.

### Return and Pineapple Sunrise (2022–2024)

Content with closing the chapter on Beach Weather, Santino found himself thinking about music again during the COVID-19 pandemic and was approached by Silverman about material he was working on. They began sending each other notes and ideas, which influenced Santino's excitement into writing music again. In June 2021, the group quietly reunited and started working on their debut studio album. They flew out to Phoenix, Arizona, to record the album and were given a recording space from the Maine to use. On January 20, 2022, after nearly five years of being on hiatus, Beach Weather performed at the Rebel Lounge for 8123 fest, marking their official return. Sean Silverman, who spent his time with the band during their early years of a behind the scenes role, transitioned into a permanent member of the group in 2022.
