Home Grown are a North American ska punk/pop punk band formed in 1994 in Orange County, California.

The quartet began experimenting with elements of punk rock, pop, surf and skate music, and humorous lyrics to craft their sound.

Though rudimentary, the album established the band's presence in the prolific southern California music scene of the 1990s and included several songs that became fan favorites, such as "Surfer Girl" and "Face in the Crowd".

This lineup released EP Phone Home in 1999, which included the punk version of aqua's barbie girl.

Lohrbach and Tran recruited Darren Reynolds from the band Longfellow as the new drummer, and spent some time searching for a suitable second guitarist.

Eventually the band decided to continue as a trio without a second guitarist, and signed to the independent label Drive-Thru Records.

Shortly after its release they added second guitarist Dan Hammond and filmed music videos for the songs "You're Not Alone" and "Kiss Me, Diss Me".

The band continued without him for a time, playing live shows with guest bass guitarist Ted Vega.
