Entertainment Weekly debuts new Pony Boy single Trouble — EXCLUSIVE

“Come for the backstabby prime-time drama, stay for the frequently-awesome original songs. ABC’s country drama Nashville continually supplies both, and tonight’s episode will keep the trend alive with Pony Boy‘s “Trouble,” which you can hear exclusively here.

Pony Boy, if you’re wondering, is actually a lady — singer-songwriter Marchelle Bradanini, to be exact. Bradanini has made her (gender-misleading) name by mixing the best parts of rock, country, the blues, and her own sultry voice.”

New Review: Ponyboy – Greatest Unknown. The Pretiest Song I’ve Heard This Year

“If you put Mazzy Star in a phonebooth with Pasty Cline, Martha and the Vandrells, and Smokey Robinson, you might be close to describing it. Either way it’s beautiful, the production is clean, and no auto-tune on the vox! I can’t wait until Pony boy is more popular so I can hipster it up once again and say I told you so to all my friends. In the meantime, “Greatest Unkown” is on Ponyboy’s Soundcloud page, and it’s free to download. Take a listen to support this great new talent and so I can say I told you so, because I did.”  http://dropweirdsci.blogspot.com/2013/04/new-review-ponyboy-greatest-unknown.html

Troubadour Review + Live Video!

“Her show was all about restrain, sensibility and passion, as she was often holding back her powerful, raucous voice with a great agility; her performance was truly impressive, her tangled country songs bringing along a sexy atmosphere of smoky small town bars or desolated places of the old west” Read the Rest in it’s entirety and watch live footage here: http://www.rocknycliveandrecorded.com/2013/04/pony-boy-at-the-troubadour-tuesday-april-9th-2013-reviewed.html

VICE MAGAZINE: Pony Boy Interview: You Had Me at Fugazi

  Pony Boy is a singer / songwriter from Los Angeles, but don’t let that fool you into thinking she’s a weeping willow of a human being. Her blend of country, blues, and rock might just make her the next big crossover artist, but her incredible laid-back attitude and sense of humor might will absolutely make her the next schoolboy crush for bloggers and music fans alike.

Pony Boy Cover like a field of full newly christened ashtrays billowing smoke lines into the midnight air

… Bradanini’s voice is strong and sexy (a few Cat Power comparisons are plausible), and her music is best-suited for fans of old westerns, romanticized outsiders (check the S.E. Hinton-inspired name), Springsteen’s Nebraska and Tom Waits.

Pony Boy tackles “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings” from Father John Misty’s brilliant Fear Fun, and she succeeds in turning it into a sexy, gothic gem. Bradanini’s delivery complements J. Tillman’s stirring lyricism to pull off a murky graveyard vibe, like a field of full newly christened ashtrays billowing smoke lines into the midnight air.
