New Young Pony Club
Biography
New Young Pony Club are a five piece rock band from London, England, containing members from London, Hereford, Cambridge and Bromley. Their influences are prominently from post-punk and New Wave.
New Young Pony Club are influenced by many different bands and acts, 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".
The band has enjoyed success in their early years. Their highest chart placing for a first release was number 47 for second official single "The Bomb", though a re-release of "Ice Cream" reached number 40. They put their lack of chart success down to not having the "desire to make really radio friendly singles", but also claim that they "don't want to be the biggest band in the world". New Young Pony Club have been successful in Australia, the home of their label, where they have received airplay on radio station Triple J.
The band's song "Ice Cream" got very wide play in 2009 as a 30 second soundtrack for the TV and Internet advertisement for the Cube Mobile Device from the Nissan car company.
