Dead Pony have revealed that they will be releasing a new EP next month, kicking off what is sure to be a riotous chapter for the band.
It’s going to be called ‘Eat My Dust!’ and will be yours on May 15 via ADA. It serves as the follow-up to 2024’s full-length ‘IGNORE THIS’.
Vocalist Anna Sheilds and Producer/Guitarist Blair Crichton had this to say about the release, explaining, “We’re stepping into a whole new era of Dead Pony — one that feels bigger, bolder, and more unapologetically us than anything we’ve ever done before. We’ve pulled heavily from our early 2000s influences, but this isn’t about looking back — it’s about reshaping that nostalgia into something that feels fresh, unpredictable, and completely our own.”
“More than anything, we wanted this EP to be a statement. There’s chaos and energy running through every track, but underneath it is a band pushing themselves to evolve. We’ve gone further with our songwriting, taken more risks in the studio, and allowed ourselves to experiment in ways we never have before. This is us stepping outside our comfort zone and fully committing to it.”
The artwork looks like this:
Whilst the tracklisting is a little bit more like this:
1. What If?
2. Eat My Dust!
3. Freak Like Me
4. BOOM!
5. Fury
6. Lost Inside Of Me
The title track is already out there for you, but today sees the release of another taste of the project. That is ‘Freak Like Me’, a proud and powerful piece of throwback battery that serves as a manifesto for all those who live this life a little bit differently. Showing off plenty of nu-metal crunch and harmony-driven euphoria, it’s a rip-roarer of a track, one that is impossible not to lose all inhibitions to.
Anna had this to say about the song’s inspiration:
“Freak Like Me is a love letter to the outsiders in society – the ones who never quite fit the mould and stopped trying to. It’s about owning every bizarre, messy, sexy, beautiful part of who you are, and finding your people in that chaos. I was really inspired by the energy of The Priory bar in Glasgow, where we used to hang out and play our first gigs – sweaty, loud, full of young musicians and misfits just being unapologetically themselves. There was this unspoken understanding that no one had to pretend. That’s the spirit I wanted to bottle in this track — a space where being a ‘freak’ isn’t just accepted; it’s celebrated.”
Go on, dance. Nobody is watching.
