About this album

Hung At Heart is a distinctive 2013 statement from The Growlers, sharpening the band’s off-kilter surf, garage rock and indie-rock mix into something more focused and memorable. Built on sing-song melodies, dry humour and a worn-in coastal mood, the album helped define the band’s early identity while widening their audience beyond the Southern California scene. Its blend of ragged guitars, punchy rhythms and nasal vocal charm gives songs like One Million Lovers and Someday their uneasy hook, balancing lo-fi grit with pop instincts. The result is one of the group’s most recognisable and enduring albums.
