The B-52s are a new wave, dance-rock, pop rock band. They were founded in the city of Athens, Georgia in 1976. Their music is characterized by being cheerful and having catchy dance rhythms, which is why The B-52s are remembered as one of the best party bands in the U.S. They have sold over 20 million albums in their career.
