Together brothers Bryan and Douglass Enas form Indiana based alt-punk band Stagnant Pools.
With a guitar and drums the duo have created a refreshing shoegaze-meets-noise pop sound, and with their new album Geist dropping soon, it’s safe to say that these brothers stay on the grind.
GroundSounds recently caught up with them for an exclusive interview, check it out below.
For those just discovering Stagnant Pools, can you tell us a little bit about your upbringing as brothers and when you guys first started making music together?
We have an older brother, so there were three of us growing up. We all played sports. Early on we watched a lot of Three Stooges and Abbott and Costello movies. We didn’t fight a whole lot, but when it rained it poured. I remember a time we got in an argument over something while playing basketball in the church parking lot and just starting beating each other up on the pavement. An old lady, reminding us that we were at a church, broke it up. I remember having a pretty bad temper. But we always let by-gones be by-gones and moved on. I got a drum set when I was 9 or 10, Bryan got a bass older bro got a guitar. We used to have family jams. Our dad is actually a pretty prolific songwriter and great piano player, so there were always tunes playing in the house.
When did you guys decide to actually form Stagnant Pools and how did you decide the band name?
We both played in our own bands for most of our teenage years, but didn’t start playing together until about 2009. Bryan was in college, I was having a rough time in high school and we started hanging out more as “bros” and playing music together. The band name is just one of those things where we stuck with the first thing that came off the tip of our tongue.
Can you tell us about bringing Geist to fruition? What was it like working on this album and what can fans expect?
