The Alternative-Rock act Abandoned Pools is the brainchild of singer+songwriter
Tommy Walter; early interested in music he started playing the bass at
an early age and by his teenage years Walter studied French horn at South
Cal University and then University Of Pacific in Stockton, California
USA; in the mid-'90s he joined Mark Oliver Everett's
Eels along with drummer Butch Norton, the trio scored a big Modern
Rock radio hit with the infectious "Novocaine For The Soul".
Walter left the band, after the release of the Eels's
debut album, to work on his solo project. "Humanistic" was the
first album credited to Abandoned Pools, it was released in September
of 2001 and reached the top 20 of the Billboard Magazine's Heatseekers
chart, the record went on to sell almost 100,000 copies thanks to the
Modern Rock top 30 hit, "The Remedy" and tours with the likes
of Remy Zero, Garbage, Lenny
Kravitz, Billy Corgan and A
Perfect Circle.
After four years' absence, Walter re-emerged in mid-2005 with the 5-song
EP "The Reverb" which features the single "Armed To The
Teeth".
