GROWN AT HOME blend a dynamic, energetic and unrivalled live performance with the cutting edge of punk, hardcore and ska. Amongst the flying brass and bouncing vocalists lie contagious melodies so infectious you'll be humming them for weeks.
GROWN AT HOME are a 6 piece ska punk band that encompass every part of what is - ska punk with dancey, rocking high energy ska core !
Grown at Home exploded onto the UK punk scene in 2002 as an 8 piece ska band playing gigs up and down the country and receiving awesome responses. After line up changes through the years and having many different influences help to refine their sound they now have the combitnation of musicians to fully excell. In 2004 they entered the studio with producer Iain Wetherell (Capdown, Lightyear) to record their first self-titled EP, now deleted and available exclusively from the iTunes Music Store. By 2006 the band released their debut album, 'Assemble', recorded at Street Level Studios, Cardiff (The Crimea, Adequate Seven), and in 2007 embarked on their first European tour with the Voodoo Glow Skulls spanning over 30 dates on foreign soil.
Over their short years GROWN AT HOME have played with Jimmy Eat World, Motion City Soundtrack, MXPX, Lagwagon, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Rx Bandits, Lightyear, Sonic Boom Six, Adequate 7, MU330, The King Blues, Never Heard of It, the Aquabats, and Big D & The Kids Table to name but a few! Since then they've headlined the Ska Trek - The Next Generation tour, and joined Sonic Boom Six on their Arcade Perfect album release tour.
After the departure of longtime vocalist Nick Phillips, the band has seen a line up reshuffle, which invloved recruiting new muscians. They've since written new material and developed old tracks. Currently writing and recording for their new record, which is planned to be released summer 2008. Catch them at a venue near you very soon!

"Uniquely accessible and genuinely fun, it would take a very cold and cynical person, irrespective of musical tastes, not to get swept away by their infectious, up-tempo sound - However the real key to their success is the quality of their material – witty, well-written and expertly arranged their tracks are literally packed with hooks and unfold at a tremendous pace, delivered with really seen levels of showmanship and technical ability." - Surface Unsigned.
