What a weekend for some surrealism brought to you by The Growlers. We spent the last two days running through the freak show that was Growlers Six (formerly Beach Goth),  a two-day festival of music and circus-like fun. The pre-Halloween festival has become an annual tradition in Southern California and with a lineup as colorful, diverse and fun as this we had to be there. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, Beach Fossils, Juvenile, The Paranoyds, The B-52s, La Luz, Bad Brains and many more brought the noise as over 20,000 people sprinting stage to stage at the LA Waterfront, a new venue that made for a rather enjoyable festival experience. We’re still trying to wash the makeup off our face, but check some of the bands we enjoyed below.

Dear Youth One more Aloha from Hawaii (with Quinn Matthews)

We just had to say aloha one more time. This time Quinn Matthews says farewell to the island. It’s been exactly a year now since Quinn Matthews caught our eye with his photos from Hawaii, and this year was a stellar sophomore campaign. Always fresh, and always rad angles.

Dear Youth Swimming at Pipe: Quinn Matthews

Editor’s Note: Every time Quinn does something (anything), it’s probably his first time. And while I think he’d swam and shot at Pipe before, these were definitely the biggest waves he’d ever swam in. Which lends for good reading, especially when you line it up with the results you see below. Quinn wrote this and…
