Pool Kids - Easier Said Than Done (August 15th, 2025) Album • Page 4

Playing this non-stop. Haven’t connected with an album like this for a while. And it’s just a perfect length as well. I love 40 min albums with no skips.

 

they could have ended the album on any of the last three songs and they sequenced it perfectly

 

I need to listen to this a lot more, but I was definitely surprised to hear them interpolating "The Hills" on "Sorry Not Sorry" the first time through haha

 

wtf this has been bugging me so bad. i thought i was crazy thinking i knew it already from somewhere. THANK YOU

 

Perfect View is my favorite

 

I’ve always liked this band, never loved them. This is the album I’ve been waiting for them to make

 

Going to see them next month with Truth Club and Pony in Durham.

 

Anyone get punisher vibes from perfect view?

 

Really dislike Perfect View. Grating guitar on that one

 

BAFFLING

 

The helll

 

I have to speak my truth

 

It’s true

 

Crazy

 

Holy fuck, this is a record.

It reminds me of what Now Now would sound like if they leaned more into the real instruments. Back half is immaculate.

 

Careful saying real instruments here!

 

Fair. And I love Now Now too so I don’t mean anything either way by it.

 

This album is really doing wonders with the transition to cooler weather. Just feels right

 

i got tickets to see them in Portland in October last night. can’t believe it was less than $20 after fees for three touring bands.

v excited — this album is hitting all the right spots, and i never thought i’d get the chance to see PONY.

 

This one is a hell of a grower. I swear I was listening to the album in my dreams last night. I woke up in the middle of the night and just started singing as I zombied my way down the stairs: "They're the sharks and we're the minnows! And it's easy to play, but there never is a winner-oh-oh!"

I need to go see them again. I still find it wild my introduction to them was seeing them open for La Dispute. Such an odd combo.

 

That is how I felt seeing them open for Beach Bunny. You had, at minimum, 50% of the crowd filled with teenage girls and their moms, many dressed in prom dresses and sashes…and then Andrew from PK absolutely shredding and telling them to open up the pit.

I think I have never felt so old at a show in my life

 

Wasn’t crazy on this at first but it’s really grown on me.

Leona Street is definitely the stand out for me, but Easier Said Than Done, Bad Bruise, Not Too Late, and Exit Plan are all really great too.

 

received my hard copy a couple days early! stoked to jam \m/

 

Pool Kids and AFI are playing on the same day in Chicago next week and I'm weighing pros and cons on which to attend, if I even can. I might be leaning towards PK

 

ive never seen PK live but i heard they are fantastic live, i have seen AFI multiple times and i can confirm they are fantastic live. Plus aren't the pook kids playing at lincoln hall? that's imitate as hell!
