"Growing Pains"

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Apr 8, 2015

Milwaukee three-piece the Midwestern Charm are set to unleash their debut full-length Growing Pains later this month, but before it arrives, Exclaim! has got the exclusive premiere of the record's title track.
 
Delivering what they've self-described as "basement pop," the band deliver crunchy, guitar-driven tunes with a healthy dose of that Wisconsin magic hinted at in their name. As for "Growing Pains," it is fully-charged power pop, delivering melodic guitar squeals and lyrics that bridge the everyday minutia of acts like drinking and playing records with bigger themes of youth and getting older.
 
Growing Pains is officially out on April 21 via Texas Is Funny, but you can give the title track its first spin in the player below right now. You can pre-order it here.
