New Young Pony Club

New Young Pony Club are a five piece indie/electronica band from London, England. Taking influences from New Wave bands such as Talking Heads and Blondie, and combining them with dance rhythms and synths, they are perhaps more deserving of the “Nu Rave” tag than many other bands in the sub-genre such as Klaxons and SHITDISCO. However, like other bands associated with the label, they are quick to dismiss it.

The band are keen to take their cues from a whole range of sources, and try not to risk becoming too close to the sound of any one other band. Their own take on their music is “We marry the dance ethic with the pop ethic, and make something that you can dance to and sing along to.”
