“Dreamy new single ‘Pulp of Youth’ is a hazy wash of sound that showcases the group’s gentler side, while still having a black, black heart.” – CLASH
“Some bands just ooze cool. The proudly independent L.A. band The Growlers serves up an infectious combo of new wave, disco and indie rock in “Natural Affair.”” – NPR
“… one of the US west coast’s most notorious names, combining swirling psych-rock leads with thick, varying influences in jazz, electronic and more giving them a unique edge amongst the rest.” – PILERATS

Icons of the Los Angeles underground The Growlers have just unveiled their dreamy new single Pulp of Youth as well as the release date for their forthcoming LP Natural Affair which is set for release on October 25 via the band’s very own Beach Goth Records & Tapes.
Celebrated for their 80s-infused take on that all-American sound of raw, rumbling garage rock and the distinctive soulful and gravelly vocals of front man Brooks Nielsen, The Growlers have gained legions of passionate fans around the globe, amassing over 200 million Spotify streams, over 1.5 million monthly listeners, and 75 million YouTube streams. Over the last two months the band have already (not so quietly) released three other HUGE new cuts off the album including the lead single and title track ‘Natural Affair’ as well as ‘Try Hard Fool,’ and ‘Foghorn Town.’
Opening with a swaying, atmospheric groove inspired by the Pacific island vibes of Haruomi Hosono (founding member of Yellow Magic Orchestra and connoisseur of all-American pop) Pulp of Youth sees The Growlers expanding their sonic palette while staying true to what they do best: delivering a rocking, singalong chorus about the pleasures (and perils) of modern love.
“The love and happiness for my wife is why I’m still here,” says singer Brooks Nielsen. “I see a lot of people around me dropping like flies, whether from bad relationships, drugs, or bands falling apart. But my girl, the mother of my kids, she keeps me on the vine. I want to stay with her and stay right. We’re still very much in love, just like when we were younger, in the pulp of youth.”
Now on the final leg of their 54-date 2019 World Tour, The Growlers are edging closer to their hometown of LA. This year the band hosts their annual Beach Goth event as a three-night Halloween party at the legendary Hollywood Palladium which will feature extended performances, surprises and special guests. 2 events have now sold out and added a third and has been added and are set to sell more than 11,000 tickets.
No strangers to our golden coastline, the band were in Australia earlier in 2019 for their Summer east coast headline tour which included sold-out shows at The Forum and The Metro Theatre and were joined onstage by long-time friend, collaborator and honorary Growler, Kirin J Callinan for the full run of dates. Stay tuned for more touring news to be announced…

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
