Thanks to our fellow rock lovers at Earmilk for their great review of Burning Pools debut song “Bang Bang.”
Thanks to Wonderland Magazine for premiering Burning Pools’ debut tune ‘Bang Bang.
“We’re checking in with bass players from all over the world to see what they’re doing to stay entertained, healthy, productive, and safe during this trying time.” Thanks for the interview Bass Magazine!
Led by former Smashing Pumpkins bassist Ginger Pooley, Burning Pools has long been in the making. She and husband Kristopher Pooley had been demoing songs showcasing Ginger’s penchant for empowering protest lyrics clothed in pop hooks, when they decided to reach out to guitarist Max Bernstein. He promptly added some tracks with a sub-octave fuzz permanently in the “on” position. Instantly, the three decided that Kris (a keyboard player by trade) would dust off his drum kit as this was not a synth operation —and a band was born.
The band’s three members share a long list of studio and touring credits and collectively have worked with rock legends like Tom Morello, Siouxsie Sioux, Slash, Morrissey, Liz Phair, Scott Weiland, Tegan and Sara, and bands like Jane’s Addiction and Weezer. They’ve also had their hands in the pop world, though it is clear that its influence is positively nil. Their unique brand of noisy power-pop with doomy riffs charts a different sonic course, harkening more to the loud drum and guitar squalls that Kris and Ginger experienced as newlyweds on the Smashing Pumpkins tours.
Their debut EP, set to release in early 2021, is a critique of society’s values versus what is deemed less important. Ginger shares, “It’s nothing new for music to be a voice of criticism of our culture. That is the purpose of a lot of art. This is just my way of expressing my frustration with the priorities of modern society. Valuing money over everything, undervaluing women and people of color. Hopefully our songs make people who are of the same accord feel heard and supported. There is so much injustice in the world, we hope to be a part of the solution in some small way.”
“Bang Bang”, the bands lead single, features gritty, distorted guitars and crashing percussion, emphasizing the angst and disappointment they have towards life’s unjusts. Their debut single releases Friday, September 4 on all digital platforms via CatBeach Music and InGrooves Distribution.
Bands like Burning Pools are supposed to play shows — and to the list of the world’s upended plans of 2020 we add the dream of taking these songs beyond streaming platforms to the stage where a power trio can actually be one in real time. In the meantime, Burning Pools will be releasing singles from their forthcoming EP.
