With new bands making their mark in the scene, it’s no surprise that Burning Pools is one of them. Burning Pools is composed of former Smashing Pumpkins bassist Ginger Pooley as the vocalist, Kristopher Pooley as the drummer, and Max Bernstein as the guitarist. All together, Burning Pools has experience from working with various musical acts such as Liz Plair, Tom Morello, and Janes Addiction. With that, Burning Pools was destined to make waves in the music scene. Furthermore, ‘Bang Bang’ is a fantastic single to showcase Burning Pool’s excellent talent. |
‘Bang Bang’ starts with a gritty, loud guitar followed by Ginger’s high pitched vocals. Gingers vocals transition to a lower pitch as she sings towards the chorus. The chorus is filled with heavy drumming and 70’s influenced rhythm. ‘Bang Bang’ gives the nostalgic feeling of jamming out with your friends. However, that isn’t all that ‘Bang Bang’ brings to the table. ‘Bang Bang’ incorporates the emotion of angst in order to discuss social issues. As Burning Pools stated “The anthemic ‘I Am Woman’ oozes with confidence, highlighting an individualistic feminism with all the subtlety of a brick through a window.” This, not only, exemplifies Burning Pools great use of lyricism but also including symbolism in ‘Bang Bang.’
Without a doubt, Burning Pools has made their mark in the new age of music. With COVID hitting hard in the music scene, Burning Pools had to pause their upcoming shows and future plans. The trio originally had planned to tour and play their newest tracks throughout 2020. Burning Pools paused their tour but still plan to release music on streaming platforms. As with ‘Bang Bang’ being their first single, Burning Pools is still making 2020 their year despite unexpected difficultes. Burning Pools is still set to release new tracks as the year continues until their debut EP comes out. With that in mind, Burning Pools has a lot to bring in the next coming months.
