Dead Pony
High-octane Glasgow rock that crashes early 2000s nu-metal grooves into riot grrrl energy. Aggressive, catchy, and built for the front row.

Dead Pony, originating from Glasgow's vibrant DIY scene, represents a modern evolution of the 'nu-rock' movement. Originally performing as Crystal, the band rebranded in 2020, signaling a shift toward a more aggressive, genre-fluid identity.
Their sound is a sophisticated synthesis of disparate influences: the feminist punk ethos of Kathleen Hanna, the grunge simplicity of Nirvana, and the rhythmic intensity of Limp Bizkit and The Prodigy. This 'pick-and-mix' approach to the early 2000s aesthetic has allowed them to carve out a unique space in the UK alternative scene, moving beyond the standard indie-rock tropes of their peers. Critical consensus highlights their ability to maintain pop accessibility while experimenting with nu-metal textures and industrial electronics. Their 2024 debut full-length, 'IGNORE THIS', solidified their position as leaders of a new wave of heavy-leaning alternative rock, charting well in Scotland and earning them a reputation as a formidable live act. They are central to a burgeoning scene of female-fronted heavy acts that prioritize high-energy performance and sharp, identity-focused lyricism.
