Take 5 southern california guys, mix in some surf, stone, and psychedelic, throw them in a haunted mansion in west hochiminster and with a little luck, you might get a band like The Growlers. The bands name comes from lead singer Brooks Nielsen and guitarist Moustache Matt. One day Brooks came home and Matt was takin a big growler in the outhouse and the rest is history. Watch some footage of old Wind N Sea Surf Club back in the 70’s and you might get a taste of what this band’s live shows are like. Full length debut album ‘The Greatest sHits’ available online myspace.com/lbcgrowlers or at thaliasurf.com. Catch their show on the beach or in your mothers basement and you’ll be nothing short of loving The Growlers. Just keep an eye on your mom, she might get swept away.

After receiving rave reviews from their sold out 6 weeks up front residency at The Shacklewell Arms show including The Fly (‘even from our sweaty vantage point at the back, it’s impossible not to get washed along on the wave of hysteria that greets The Growlers tonight.’ – http://alturl.com/i33cj and Clash (‘The crowd is loving it. The room, packed to the brim, is swaying, jumping and wooping like it’s a high school prom.’ http://alturl.com/mjgn7), The Growlers have announced a full UK headline tour including the Scala in London. For the uninitiated, expect an education in woozy garage sounds and pulsating psychedelic noise mixed with a murky swagger. The Californian psych poppers just released their long-awaited new album Hung at Heart, and will be playing several venues up and down the UK during October and November. “a laid-back, psych-rock delight” – Q “all kinds of surfy brilliance” – The Fly (****) “a Californian rock group that mix garage, surf rock and psychedelic influences together to form an enticing brew that will get pulses quickening.” – Artrocker
