Glasgow’s rising stars Dead Pony are bringing their electric, genre-bending sound on a headline UK tour this December. Following the success of their debut album Ignore This, which burst onto the scene to critical acclaim and took the UK charts by storm, Dead Pony are back on the road to reconnect with fans and dazzle new listeners. The album, packed with energy and individuality, claimed the #2 spot on the Independent Album Breakers Chart and made impressive waves across other UK charts, including #27 in the Album Chart and #8 among Scottish albums.
With shows scheduled in cities like Sheffield, London, and Manchester, the Ignore This Tour promises a raw, unforgettable experience, with the band’s signature mix of synth-rock, punk, and alternative influences bringing an unpredictable live atmosphere.
Dates begin December 3rd at Sheffield’s Leadmill 2, running through to December 11th at Leeds’ Key Club. For Dead Pony, it’s more than a tour; it’s a declaration to the industry and to audiences everywhere: pay attention or miss out.
Ignore This isn’t just an album; it’s a manifesto. This 16-track debut, crafted by guitarist and lead composer Blair Crichton along with vocalist Anna Shields, bassist Liam Adams, and drummer Euan Lyons, embodies the band’s mission to disrupt, captivate, and resonate with anyone who’s ever felt overlooked. Songs like “MK Nothing,” “MANA,” “COBRA,” and “About Love” are mini-narratives, exploring everything from brainwashed assassins to zombie apocalypses. These themes don’t just push creative boundaries—they underline the band’s refusal to conform to any mainstream narrative or musical box. Shields reflects, “This music is for people who like good music… for the misfits who struggle to fit in anywhere else.”
Drawing from influences as diverse as Queens of the Stone Age and The Prodigy, the band creates a powerful, synth-rock fusion reminiscent of contemporaries like WARGASM and Vukovi. But they’re far from following trends; Dead Pony’s sound pulls listeners through highs and lows, balancing distortion-heavy guitars with atmospheric synths to create an album that’s as rebellious as it is refined.
