The Growlers, a band synonymous with the creation of their own distinct sound known as "Beach Goth," have carved a unique niche within the music industry, blending elements of surf rock, garage rock, and psychedelic music with a laid-back Southern California vibe. Emerging from Dana Point, California, in 2006, the band was initially formed by Brooks Nielsen (vocals), Matt Taylor (lead guitar), and Scott Montoya (drums), with their lineup evolving over time. The Growlers have made a significant impact with their relentless touring schedule and a steady stream of releases that showcase their evolving sound.

With albums like "Natural Affair" and tracks such as "Dream World," "Foghorn Town," and "Who Loves the Scum?" The Growlers continue to expand their sonic palette, incorporating more polished production values while retaining the raw energy and eccentricity that have been their trademarks. Their music, marked by Nielsen's distinctive, raspy vocals and the band's penchant for catchy, melodic hooks, often explores themes of love, life's struggles, and the pursuit of happiness, all served with a side of their characteristic whimsical and slightly dark lyrical stylings. Over the years, The Growlers have cultivated a devoted following, enchanting audiences worldwide with their atmospheric live performances and maintaining a vital place in the indie music scene.
