The Growl are here and with only a handful of shows under their collective belts they’ve earned a reputation bigger than their sizeable beards.
They’ve been hand picked to support the cream of WA talent including The Kill Devil Hills, Felicity Groom, The Silents and included as part of the lineup for the 2011 Southbound Festival.
In their spare time, The Growl have been squirreled away working on their debut EP .Their basement-birthed recordings are littered with a cacophony of out of tune guitars, resuscitated pianos and broken cymbals.
Their rehearsal room come recording studio is cluttered like a junkyard. Pieces of guttering, smashed shakers, pots, pans, destroyed drums, a plethora of old synths and tape machines are piled against the walls. It’s dark, dingy and claustrophobic but it’s been the birth place of a collection of mighty tunes that will blow you away.
The Growl’s songs grind along, covered in a dark eerie pall one moment and exploding in a fit of aggressive staccato strumming and aggression the next.
The sounds are rough and raw but when coupled with frontman Cam Avery’s husky caramel vocals and subtly thoughtful lyrics the sharp edges are seductively smoothed off and rounded out. There is definitely something about The Growl. Listen.
