  • Saint’s & Liars love

    I have to thank fellow blog When You Awake for turning me onto L.A./London-based chanteuse Pony Boy. Back in my adolescence, I read and thoroughly enjoyed S.E. Hilton’s classic youth novel The Outsiders as part of my school’s curriculum, and was immediately attracted this musical project, named for the narrator of that text. …Influenced by all the right names from Tom Waits and Howlin’ Wolf to Bobby Gentry and Wanda Jackson. “Saint and Liars,”  is a pleasant mix of slow-burning electric guitar, 1960s mellotron, and sultry vocals. The video, filmed at a Working Men’s Club in Glasgow, comes across as the Scottish corollary to the film Searching For the Wrong-Eyed Jesus. Either way, both the song and the video are excellent, and I’m very excited to hear more music from this project. Enjoy!

  • Pony Boy on Harmon Drive!

    Check it out yo!

    “…There is a distinct natural beauty in her voice that speaks to the soul, I also love that her website points out that this song among others was recorded “mostly in one-take performances between beers and Mexican food.” Viva. ”

  • Let’s get huge people. Pony Boy on Captains Dead

    Captains Dead is a badazz site. So it’s pretty sweet to get some Saints & Liars love.

    “im gonna preface this by stating that i am only a man, and being the heterosexual man that i am, i am drawn to women; especially lovely women you can sing, and play guitar. so, i have zero shame in saying what drew me to listen to ponyboy’s music is that she’s quite an attractive young lady. but, and this is a huge but, it doesnt mean shit if her music doesnt back it up. luckily for all of us, from what i have heard, it does…. ive only heard a handful of songs, but she’s kind some smokey pipes reminiscent of chan marshall but with more a whisky soaked southern lilt – or at least it sounds southern. although, she may be from los angeles? at this point she’s an enigma wrapped in a riddle as i dont know anything about her, and actually thats ok with me. i dont even know if its ponyboy or pony boy? shes got a bunch of tracks streaming on her site, and all of them are pretty damn great. i really, really look forward to hearing more from her aka a full record, and it sounds like it may be in the works. i dont say this often, but she could be huge.”

  • Great UK site Beat Surrender EP review

    “…[Pony Boy] has left behind her punk roots and twin-decks for her debut solo Pony Boy EP, aptly described as junkyard country Bradanini channels her wonderful smoky vocal through a slew of influences to produce something of real gravitas, the tracks were recorded to tape mostly in one-take and produced by Amy Aileen and John Would (Fiona Apple, Warren Zevon, Wanda Jackson), excellent stuff that had this listener reaching for the repeat button over and over.”

  • Check out Pony Boy review up on Americana Roots today!

    “With Pony Boy’s self titled EP Pony Boy there wasn’t any skipping of songs. From track 1 Saints and Lairs to track 5 The Murder Ballad of Carrie Lee each song was a beautifully crafted lyrically haunting treasure. A wonderful soundtrack for these late fall days and nights. I hope to here more from Pony Boy soon! Get this CD, I promise you’ll wear it out.”

  • nice lil’ review today!

    Always a compliment to have the sound classified as  slightly indescribable! Hopefully that means original! ha.

     

    “Pony Boy, who confusingly is neither a boy nor a pony. She’s a human woman, but none the worse for it. I am struggling to describe her sound. Musically it reminds me a bit of Neko Case and Kelly Hogan, but vocally Karen Dalton is perhaps a closer comparison. However you describe it, it’s good stuff.”
