From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Growing

Growing is a band from Olympia, Washington that was formed by Kevin Doria, Joe Denardo, and Zack Carlson (who left the band following the release of their first album) in 2001. They play instrumental drone rock with elements of noise and ambient music. Their live shows are known for being incredibly loud, playing straight through their set without break or pause. They have released albums on Kranky, Animal Disguise, and Archive and they are currently on the Megablade label. The band is now based in NYC. Kevin Doria also records under the name Total Life.

According to the Troubleman Records website, Growing will be working on their new album in Canada over the coming months. It will be a "collaborative effort with accompanying movie."
