"Pomegranates had humble
beginnings in the heart of Cincinnati – where neighbors throw block parties
that farm animals are also invited to – two friends, Jacob Merrittand Isaac
Karns, began playing music. The two grew to four including Joey Cook and,
most recently, Curt Kiser, and humble song-writing turned prolific. The
next three years saw the release of three full-length albums,Everything Is
Alive, Everybody Come Outside and One Of Us - with the band
receiving critical acclaim from the likes of KEXP, WOXY, Spin and more. And
2012 has given us another: Heaven."
The band recently released "Heaven" and I want to thank Joey Cook (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard) for taking a few minutes to participate in this edition of First/Last.

The first album I remember buying myself was probably “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots”.

Any thoughts, experiences about
Pittsburgh?
I'm reminded of Sudden Death with Jean Claude Van Damme. Great movie.

Thanks, Joey. It always fascinates me that for many people Pittsburgh will always be associated with Jean Claude Van Damme. Weird.
