The Hondells were an American surf rock band, active primarily in the mid-1960s. Known for their sun-drenched, harmony-rich sound, they contributed to the popularization of the West Coast surf music genre. Their most notable hit, "Little Honda," was a cover of a Beach Boys track and reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. Despite frequent changes in lineup, the band's distinctive sound remained consistent, significantly influenced by the California beach culture of the time.
