There a loads of bands called Hook, but here is a relatively recent band that goes by the name from Finland who play melodic, midpaced guitar-driven punk rock. The eight songs on their debut full length Pool have echoes of late ’90s and early 00’s emo but also the alternative rock that came before. Several songs evoke the spirit of both Nirvana and Dinosaur Jr., and there is a subtle grungy aesthetic to their powerful sound that sets them apart.
Pool is out now through Shield Recordings & Keep It A Secret Records.
