The Growlers - Beach Rats (The Hung at Heart Garage Recordings)

[@joshb8976]

Brooks is such a deep lyricist. He’s criminally underrated for how good he is at writing lyrics. Shits incredible.

[@frailty7280]

their bassist at the time, Anthony Braun Perry is also absolutely fantastic. Growlers have always had great bass players before and since but i think Anthony is a big reason they had such a golden age in 2012-13. Even in these garage recordings with a six man band that bass still pops.

[@hellomissannie]

[@Eskareignneo]

I miss this sound compared to their current albums. I guess this was their state of mind at the time, dark and gritty.

[@XiaZoldyck]

I have no words for this comment just🖤 Yes I miss this sound too. I was definitely going through dark times as well so it made it that much better. I am happy their doing well and still enjoy their newer stuff, but this era took the cake for me and still does. This is the music you feel to the core

[@daphnis7178]

Agree! Their current albums are cool but this old era really feels more nostalgic and romantic

[@schkwir]

unfortunately yes

[@preshvilla5182]

Why do you miss it...it still exists. Bands must evolve. However this IS my fav Growlers song.

[@fayjan73]

[@wificracker41]

I remember first hearing the growlers when I was 15. For the longest time this was my favorite song. Coming from Orange county and living 30min away from Newport or Huntington beach, a stoner and experimenting heavily with acid at the time. This song spoke to me on so many levels. Idk man the growlers captured something magical man. The orange county and l.a music was flourishing so much with that psych/garage/surf work movement that was going on from 2012-2017. It was like the 60's man. All the acid and free shows going othe time. I'd love to talk about with anyone in the replies:)

[@emergencyexit1120]

Also found the growlers when I was 15ish, just way too late unfortunately. Super jealous that I missed that new golden age of the surf, psych and garage scene in LA, but at least I have the songs as relics to covet.

[@boostpack609]

I felt you man it was dope on the rope that started me off when I was 16. I lived in wildwood right on the coast of jersey and this song really spoke to me it made me buy the exact guitar Matt Taylor is using a 2016 Gibson Les Paul studio and it made me wanna play guitar more this era for the growlers really got me through hard times and I love them for it. Los Growlers for life!!!! Beware of old rat face!

KarlayS I’m a dude, straight dude, and I totally feel you. First off, complete handsome dude, and totally my favorite type of guitarist. Doesn’t noodle around show boating and whatever BS. But makes every note count. Which in my heart felt opinion truly makes a good guitarist. Idc what kind of lightning speed someone can play at. You gotta make that amp speak for your soul, which is a hard thing to find nowadays. Anyone hating on the growlers new stuff just needs to realize bands grow and tune into different sounds, so why not just grow with the band?
