A band from Newcastle-upon-Tyne formed in 2018, Pit Pony's members include Jackie Purver (vocals) and Garth Purver (guitar), Andrew Jones (guitar), Andrew Potter (bass) and Joey Morley (drums). The North-East of England, where the musicians hail from, influences their caustic garage rock and the social themes that permeate their song lyrics. Supported by the specialist press and UK radio stations, Pit Pony packed out venues after the release of their first raw-sounding singles, before refining their style on "Dutch Courage" (2020) and debut album World to Me (2022). After two national tours in 2022, the band establish their residency at Newcastle club The Cluny and open for established acts such as Idles and The Wedding Present at Leeds' O2 Arena, before returning to the studio to craft their second album Dead Stars, released in 2025.
