VINYL FORMAT. Recommended. Debut album from the Ponys! Featuring members of The Guilty Pleasures and The Hot Machines and recorded by Jim Diamond at his über-hip Ghetto Recorders in Detroit. This music is so infectious it's unbelievable...destined to become one of the most memorable debuts in recent years. "The 12 tracks...are surprisingly polished.

A pretty fantastic debut from Ponys (not to be confused with the other band, THE Ponys). The sounds of the past and present meet here to create a unique and uplifting timelessness. Ponies merge rock instrumentation, acoustic guitar, electric slide, moog, wurlitzer, and gorgeous vocals into a cluster of irresistible, catchy, and haunting songs. A hodgepodge of droning psychedelia, velvety instrumentals, quirky indiepop, country twang, and distortion fueled rock -- all brought together by the band's unique so   [ read more ]

With their blasts of fuzzy guitar, '60s-inspired melodic hooks, and occasional bursts of Farfisa organ, it would be easy to file the Ponys in with the current crop of punk-leaning nuevo garage bands. Then again, it wouldn't be especially accurate -- while the Ponys no doubt dig garage rock, a spin of their debut album, Laced With Romance, suggests they've been listening to the Velvet Underground, the Cure, early Pere Ubu, My Bloody Valentine, and the Jesus and Mary Chain mor   [ read more ]

The Ponys served up a wildly distinctive sound on their debut album, 2004's Laced With Romance, and it's the good fortune of listeners everywhere that they've actually gotten better (and added some new layers to their approach) on their sophomore long-player, Celebration Castle. While the Ponys' broad palate of influences hasn't changed all that much -- a muscular and sweaty mTlange of noisy pop sounds, ranging from the Velvet Underground and Richard Hell to the Cure and {$My Bloody    [ read more ]
