Comment: Sources (good for all hooks): (1) "Collegiate a cappella takes popular recordings as its raw material" from Durchan's essay "Collegiate a Cappella: Emulation and Originality" (JSTOR) and (2) "[This album is] an exciting new direction for collegiate a cappella" from critical reviews published by The Recorded A Cappella Review Board.

Article checks out, contains sourced hook(s). Hooks very interesting (take that, Pitch Perfect 2), and I personally prefer the wording of Alt4. No QPQ needed as it's Shrinkydinks' first DYK nom. Nice to have you! Kingsif (talk) 01:58, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
