Alternative pop rock can be a very hit and miss genre with both option going to extreme levels, meaning that whether you hit or miss on the sound you do so with epic consequences and with ‘It’s A You Thing’ from Boston’s Shallow Pools you get a hit and a very catchy one at that.

From the first watch of the video, which you can view below, I had the song stuck in my head, after 3 listens I had the chorus ringing around my head and that’s where it has remained to this very day. If all future Shallow Pools tracks are this catchy then they are destined for big things, in fact I could see Shallow Pools in a support slot for Paramore or even PVRIS in the not too distant future.

It’s also worth noting that Shallow Pools strives to promote inclusivity, and to normalize seeing a band comprised of women in this genre. The group wants to establish a welcoming environment for people of all ages, sexualities, and gender identities. They understand the importance of LGBTQIA+ and female representation and hope that embracing their own identities will inspire others to do the same.
