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.[1] 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.
The album contains a hidden track called "Too Many Stops" on track 15 after "Reflections." The song plays at 22:59 into the track and is followed by a 1-minute clip of the band members laughing uncontrollably.
Act Your Age was Home Grown's first album to chart; reaching #24 on Billboard's Heatseekers in 1998.[2]
