History Poolstar

POOLSTAR*

BERLIN ROCK!

Or: who or what is POOLSTAR*???

“a combination of the party spirit of the BEATSTEAKS and the musical fundamentals of FLYSWATTER.” (SWEET JANE MUSIC, independent online music magazine)

“POOLSTAR is damn bold and plays its guitar songs with a lot of power and punkish attitude, just the way we know it from the Swedish rock bands HELLACOPTERS and BACKYARD BABIES” (GITARRE & BASS 02/2007)

“pushy, tough and straight into your face.” (BRIGHT EYES)

“Poolstar make Punk’n’Roll, which is pure fun and puts everybody in a good mood. Playing live the boys are sure to thrill the whole audience. 9 out of 10 points.”

(VENUE MUSIC, online music magazine)

“much much more varied than for example the fun punk band DONOTS and also more daring and more convincing than all the new German Rock bands like Revolverheld. POOLSTAR is simply better, moving more into the direction of the BEATSTEAKS. “Poolstar” is a safe bet for all fans of Emo, Punk and the faster kind of Indie-Rock … could become something big.” (METAL INSIDE)

“amazingly good at creating catchy melodies. … not only will they heat you up nicely but they will also stay with you for a long time.” (HOME OF ROCK, the rock magazine)

“the three Berliners have done their homework and are indeed a match for the big ones.” (SKIPMAG, independent rockzine)

“It wouldn’t be at all wrong to write: one hit follows the other.”

(ALTERNATIVENATION.DE, e-zine for rock and alternative music)

“They use elements of Emo, Grunge, Punk, Alternative and Indie Rock and even though Poolstar sounds rather British, they don’t belong to those imitating the many popular young bands from the island. Poolstar have long ago developed their own profile.” (ROCKSZENE.DE)

“Only when reading up on them you’ll discover, that amazingly enough Poolstar does not come from one of the sun spoiled states of America’s west coast but from good old Berlin. There the Punk-Rockers have long been much more than an insider tip, with fresh sounds, uncompromising sound and rough voice, Poolstar distinguish themselves in a good way.” (INDIGO)

“ready to conquer the world.” (MELODIE&RHYTHMUS)

… that’s what the others say.

So is it Indie-Emo-Punk-Rock made in Berlin????
