At this year’s famous MELT! Festival, NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION met the three hyped boys POOL from Hamburg for a quick but essential ‘Either/Or’-Q&A about all kinds of different things. So, it was decision-time for the up and coming group that released its debut album Snacks & Supplies earlier this year, delivering that amount of pop/rock indie anthems you just can’t help falling for. But do they also work as a unit when it comes to our questions? We gave POOL the options, sometimes quite easy, but sometimes also quite tough. Nevertheless, they’ve shared one opinion most of the time – a fact which shows that they work perfectly as a band.
