Pool Kids

Pool Kids have rapidly become a defining voice within American emo and indie rock, hailing from Tallahassee, Florida. Led by Christine Goodwyne alongside Caden Clinton, Andy Anaya, and Nicolette Alvarez, the band’s distinct blend of energetic math rock rhythms and emotive songwriting has garnered them critical and grassroots acclaim. Their discography showcases an evolving sound, with celebrated releases like Music to Practice Safe Sex To (2018) and the self-titled Pool Kids (2022), leading up to their highly anticipated album Easier Said Than Done released in August 2025.

Pool Kids’ reputation for dynamic live music experiences is evidenced by their recent UK and European tour, where they headlined venues such as Altsatdt in Eindhoven, Berghain Kantine in Berlin, and The Garage in London. These headline gigs underscore the band’s growing international presence and their ability to connect with fans across diverse scenes, from Brussels' Botanique to Paris' Supersonic. The band’s intricate musicianship and honest lyricism have proven to be a compelling draw for audiences both at home and abroad.

Looking ahead, Pool Kids are set to bring their compelling stagecraft to even wider audiences, joining as support for Death Cab for Cutie at Sage One in Gateshead, UK in September 2026.
