The Marketts were an American instrumental pop group active during the 1960s. Their musical style, characterized by surf rock and a space-age influence, distinguished them among their contemporaries. The group's most influential work, "Out of Limits," reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964, solidifying their impact on the surf rock genre. While the band members frequently changed, Michael Z. Gordon, the band's founder, remained a constant figure and driving force behind their successful sound.
