pinkpool’s "second 2 fast" is a ferocious step forward, cementing the Berlin project as a standout in the modern emo-punk resurgence.
... a blistering, high-energy emo-punk hit that proves pinkpool are ones to watch.
We loved their debut and, since reviewing it, it’s gone on to rack up nearly 100,000 plays – but this follow-up is honestly just as strong. It builds on the momentum of their previous track while delivering plenty of sharp pop-punk moments, with a screaming intro that firmly reaffirms their place at the forefront of the Berlin punk scene.
I loved the raw, urgent energy they’ve tapped into, and within just 30 seconds it already felt like the kind of track you could nod your head to for days, mosh to for hours, and completely lose yourself in during a live set. With a duo of tracks out now, this is a band you need to keep an eye on – it really feels like they’re destined for big things.
