Press is already praising “Karaoke” with Hilly Dilly saying ““Karaoke” "...follows up some of the best new pop we’ve heard in a while, and the band has really hit the nail on the head when it comes to the song’s actual sound." Baeble Music noted “The energetic new track is lighthearted, lots of fun, and makes you want to grab a mic and sing along”. Earmilk said  “Like a breath of fresh air, Smallpools build on their style with the momentum behind "Karaoke".Beginning in 2013, Smallpools has quickly accelerated according High Voltage Magazine, "...we’ve watched them grow and they’ve covered a ton of tour ground garnering a fantastic fan base literally built upon the infectious nature of their live shows (whales, included), their exuberant power pop and the feel good it inspires."
 
After bursting onto the scene with their 4 song self-titled EP, Smallpools has toured to all corners of North America opening for WALK THE MOON, Neon Trees, Grouplove, MS MR, Twenty One Pilots, and Two Door Cinema Club, played Lollapalooza and Firefly Festivals, and closed the year with a sold out Live Nation “Ones To Watch '14” headline tour.

Supporters like Vogue, Interview Magazine, Idolator, BuzzFeed etc all praised the band’s catchy songs and invigoration live shows. Neon Gold called “Mason Jar” “a sepia splash of power-pop that crystallizes into a starscraping smash before the verse even kicks in, as stadium-sized Of Monsters And Men gang vocals ride high on the buoyant flair of Smallpools' youthful, Two Door-esque ebullience.” In addition, NYLON Magazine premiered the Charli XCX vs Twin Idol Remix of “Dreaming”. Check out more from their Billboard interview.
 
Smallpools consists of Sean (vocals/keys), Mike (guitar), Joe (bass) and Beau (drums).
