Shallow Pools

Inspiration for a song can come from anywhere, and often when you expect it least. That’s what happened to Shallow Pools—the Boston-based band comprised of drummer Ali Ajemian, vocalist Glynnis Brennan, guitarist Jess Gromada and bassist Haley Senft—with “Say What You Want”, the four-piece’s first song for Equal Vision records. Its genesis stems from a Pride event Shallow Pools—all of whom are proud members of the LGBTQ+ community—were playing. Because amidst all the celebrations at the event, there were also, sadly, some protestors.
