Dead Pony – IGNORE THIS

Dead Pony have been gathering some serious steam over the last year, and this month arrive with an impressive debut in IGNORE THIS. One of the toughest things for a band to do at this stage in their career is sound fully formed, but Dead Pony pull this off seemingly without much effort, sounding confident in their identity as a musical outfit. They wear their influences openly and proudly; you can hear Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana on tracks like MK Nothing and I might die, along with a large dose of Le Tigre on tracks like RAINBOWS. Album standout, Bad Girlfriend is a swaggering, disco-infused rocker with an outrageously catchy hook that blends together all the best elements of their sound in a slick sub-three minute package. 

Hailing from Glasgow, Dead Pony have quickly built a solid reputation for no-nonsense rock'n'roll, something IGNORE THIS delivers in spades. The outfit’s sound is so complementary of each element; Blair Crichton’s crunchy guitar riffs and Anna Shields’ piercing vocals are supplemented by Liam Adams' bass and Euan Lyons' drums that come with a hefty dose of attitude. The future is bright for this four-piece.
