If that's not the understatement of the century, IDK what is. I started street teaming for him (Tommy Walter/ Abandoned Pools) 20 years ago at the ripe old age of 14, and I never understood why he never got more traction. Everyone I've played Abandoned Pools for has reacted almost the exact same way, and the conversation usually goes as follows: Them: "Wow, I really like this... who is it?" Me: "Abandoned Pools, one of the greatest bands you'll never hear about... that is, unless you watched Clone High or somehow managed to catch the video for The Remedy during its 15 minutes of fame back in 2002." Them: "So how did you find out about them?" Me: "I got handed a random CD single after a show because I'm fucking old, and that's a thing that bands actually used to do." 🤣😭
@@someone___1240 Lol it is possible that he reached in and pulled some of it out but adults have major angst too, especially knowing what the world is truly like and how it operates..for real.
I saw Abandoned Pools live in L.A at the Viper Rooms in 2011. I live in the UK. I met Tommy after the concert as well, was cool to speak to him! I was over there gigging with my Dad's band The Ladykillers. MR
Analyzing their music, I'm In awe how they didn’t get big, how Tommy didn't. It's criminal, I genuinely mean It. Fuck It, I'm here, you're here. We stay jamming
@BitchPl3Ase2289 They came out in the 2000s, but yeah. And Abandoned Pools basically just Tommy Walter -- the other guys are hired to play live (and this video shoot apparently). He's droppin' a new album soon.
@suguita He basically IS Abandoned Pools. He writes and performs all the music on the albums as far as I know. And the new album should be out in a week or two, I heard. Really soon. ;] But yea, it's an Abandoned Pools LP. There's already a teaser track out called Legionnaire.
this band SERIOUSLY needs some recognition
Not only that they should make more songs
man, this band is criminally underrated...
you are correct
yas
i agree

The most underrated band of all time.
yes
Yeah, Pretty Much
I love the teen angst of this band
Living dead dolls junky it’s weird, considering he was in his 30s when recording this album.

Nixon Aiko yeah, that’s true. I guess it’s weird because he specified it as teen angst. Also, it’s good to see people still listening to this band
YES! Likewise 🙃
Their angst is entertaining.
Abandones Pools is not only clone high and this song prove it

The Abandoned Pools were one of the greatest bands in the 90's. They should have more recognition...
Their first album came out in 2001 so they weren't even part of the 90s
Analyzing their music, I'm In awe how they didn’t get big, how Tommy didn't. It's criminal, I genuinely mean It. Fuck It, I'm here, you're here. We stay jamming
How often the great ones get lost in the shuffle
i demand "The Remedy" and "Flourescine" be put on this vevo. if not, then this vevo shouldn't exist.
Glad I have their cd
This song calms me down
2022 and I am still here...
