What makes a good album stand out? Some of the necessary parts include a unique sound, convincing storyline, and, of course, unforgettable lyrics. Smallpool's album The Science of Letting Go combines all of the pieces necessary for a standout album, but their presence on stage is what brings crowds closer and closer.

Before continuing take a moment to listen to the effusive, electronic pop song "Passenger Side" to get a better sense of what makes Smallpools so gravitating.

During my interview with members Sean Scanlon (Vocals/ Keyboard), Mike Kamerman (Guitarist) , and Beau Kuther (Drummer), I learned that each of the band members have been in a few bands before that went "kerplunk." So with one last hoorah, these guys put all of their great minds together to form Smallpools in 2013. A lot of work and collaboration yielded their energizing self titled EP in 2013. Their song "Dreaming" caught the attention of hundreds of thousands of people.

Lovetap! followed their first EP debut with an album mixed with songs both old and new, and their fans went wild. Songs like "Karaoke" captured the attention of more people than they anticipated at the time, but with this success they were able to put together the phenomenal, everlasting EP titled The Science of Letting Go.

Their ability to create such captivating music derives from their open minded mentality when approaching the songwriting process. While writing songs for this album was harder, as more eyes were on them, they kept true to what made their music so tantalizing, which is their youthful spirit.

Smallpools kicked off their current tour with good friends Vinyl Theater and Misterwives this past Thursday at Cannery Ballroom in Nashville, Tennessee. Not only do the bands pair well together, but the amount of talent on this tour is undeniably some of the greatest talents 2017 has to offer.

When Smallpools stepped onto the stage the crowd reaction was electric. Everyone in the room was screaming during each and every song. Chills went down my spine when everyone sang every lyric to "Dreaming" in perfect harmony with Sean. There was not a soul in the room standing still during any of their songs. Even with the end of their set, a long lasting memory of their set was created.

Smallpool's impression on Nashville was unforgettable. The band certainly gained some new fans in Nashville, and will continue to grow as they play more shows. If you have the chance to go see Smallpools, do yourself a favor ; buy a ticket.
