Pony Up! is your existential dream team.
Laura Wills (vocals/keyboard) is the neighbor-girl you watched metamorphose from a heartbroken teen into a cynical sensualist of fully fledged femininity.
Sarah K. Ruckus (vocals/guitar) is the hard candy that broke your teeth when you chewed instead of sucked.
Lindsay Wills (drums/vocals) is your every secret misery and ecstasy at midnight with the lights out.
And Lisa J. Smith (bass/vocals) is the perfidious lover who mends your heart by moonlight only to break it again over breakfast.
From amidst the mock-depravity and pseudo-intellectualism of all that is hip, from amidst the scenester wank-rock and the tearful art-house bedarkening the musical West from Williamsburg to Mile End, emerge Montreal’s ever poignant, ever jubilant Pony Up!. Combining the sapphic pop sensibility of their debut E.P., with a sad-eyed experiential woe that only time can teach, “Make Love to the Judges With Your Eyes” is a white-hot light rising from the vain and willful obscurity of our time. Adjectival endorsement and constraining citations of influence be damned: Pony Up! are the latter day mistresses of bittersweet revel and they know how it feels.
