The Pollen is a four-piece alternative rock group based out of Birmingham, Alabama. With their first full-length album, Unfiltered, dropping only recently, a growing number of music lovers are appreciating the unique, gritty soft rock sound created by this group of talented young musicians. 
Their new release is full of raw and emotional lyrics juxtaposed against skillful guitar riffs that encapsulate the band’s unique aesthetic.
The Pollen’s music, when taken at face value, seems not to belong to one genre, yet all of their songs flow perfectly into one another to create a cohesive but eclectic record. This diversity allows for the range of skills that these boys possess to be put on full display and rightfully appreciated. Lead guitarist Wesley Malone’s sultry riffs starkly contrast and yet perfectly compliment the dark, emotional lyrics that lead singer Brennan Walker sings (and screams). The Pollen’s sound would be nowhere near as enticing without the heavy, rhythmic tones skillfully created by bassist Rigdon Hendrix, and the powerhouse drummer, Matthew Siple, delivers the ambience necessary to ensure the cohesion of the record.
The Pollen’s sound, while incredible in-studio, is best showcased in a live setting. The sheer talent and charisma presented on stage makes The Pollen THE band to see. Add on top of that the intriguing lyrics and head-bang worthy riffs, and you’ve got the perfect show. The quartet has an obvious synchronicity that allows them to work with and play off of the sounds the other members are producing in real time. No two shows will sound the same, so you’re always in for a mind-blowing, unprecedented show. The humor and vivacious personalities of these boys is evident on stage, even through the heavy and sometimes dark sound they create. At a show with The Pollen, the audience experiences both the unique sound and the dynamic personality of the four band members.
