Act Your Age (Home Grown album)

1998 studio album by Home Grown

Act Your Age is the second album by the rock band Home Grown, released in 1998 by Outpost Recordings. It was the band's only album for a major label. It expanded their popularity and found them moving into a pop punk and pop rock direction musically. The album's most popular tracks were a new version of "Surfer Girl," a song which had originally appeared on their debut album That's Business and "Suffer" which also appeared on Geffen sampler Everything is Beautiful.[5] Act Your Age would be the band's final recording with their original lineup, as guitarist Ian Cone left the band shortly after its release.
