The Growlers never stopped being awesome.

[gavoerendil]

its sad to hear people complaining about their new album. I love it, absolutely blows my mind.

[thedarknight]

This song was absolutely mind blowing live at Beach Goth

[TheWanderbugChannel]

I can't believe ppl are talking trash about this song. IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Such a unique sound.

[Rgonzo]

I am a new Growlers fan, (just found out about them literally 3 weeks ago) and from my perspective i love all their songs, .. i can definitely hear the progression and evolving sound throughout the albums, . i know i don't speak for everyone and this is my opinion but i believe they're heading in the right direction musically, ..its always better to move forward

im super excited to see them live in SF in September, ..anyone going??

[RSanchez]

I don't know why people complaining that The Growlers changed, City Club and Chinese Fountain are pretty much the same style, so much that they can smoothly transition between songs.

[FreshlyWILD]

All their albums are heart felt and melodic

[Voodoochil]

Perfect time to name drop Dylan, since everyone is shitting on them for their new sound. Bands evolve. There will be other albums, other sounds.

[nolongermakingtime]

I love how much they sound like the studio version live

[eternaflame]

aw why are people complaining :/ all of their music, old and new, is amazing

[memorock]

Man! i facking love all the songs of this session is simply great!

[motherpunker]

I like the way they are going with their sound, bands have to evolve. I don't understand how this is still news to people

[carlosrangel]

Dude, I don't know why people hated this album. It rocks!

[ischelkanov]

Yeah, they've changed a bit, but they're still stylish as hell.

[mayneee]

At first, I hated these new songs but they're growing on me especially the live versions. Viva los Growlers!

[marthaherreravazquez]

Esta chida la canciónse, la rifan esos músicos la canción suena muy bien

[ale_rckr]

This is not The Growlers, this is Brooks Nielson and his band.

[SteelyDanimal]

Maybe we aren't supposed to like every band's trajectory? Fans drop off and jump on with directions that their music take. I can think of dozens of bands that I only like the last 10 years of their career and inversely only like earlier material of certain bands. It's always bold for a band to make a jump but, fuck it... playing the same shit over and over can make you go insane. It's ok to stop liking a band. If a band goes in another direction, that's their right. It's also your right to like or not.

I am so late on the Growlers that I have all their albums to explore. I like grimey shit and I like the over produced dance stuff too. Either way, the Dude has a distinctive set of pipes....

sick keyboard solo on Chinese Fountain Adam!

[germanarmijo]

Fuck can't believe I watched them two nights in a row at the wiltern last week..
