Collection: Pit Pony

With a rawness that owes influence to the North East coast they call home, Pit Pony are a caustic, fuzz-rock five-piece from Tyneside. Garth Purver (Guitar), Andrew Jones (Guitar), Andrew Potter (Bass), Joey Morley (Drums) create an adrenaline fuelled soundtrack for vocalist Jackie Purver to explore tales of political ineptitude, mental health, motherhood and failed relationships.

The band have received acclaim from The Metro, The Daily Mirror, Guitar magazine, God Is In The TV, Louder Than War, Classic Rock and more with further support from BBC Radio 1, BBC6 Music, Radio X, Amazing Radio with DJs including Steve Lamacq, Mary Anne Hobbs, Shaun Keaveny, Huw Stephens and John Kennedy getting on board. Fresh off this wave, the band returned to the studio to work on new music, forging a broader more diverse sound.

2022 saw the band complete two UK tours, and 2023 kicked off with a 300 capacity sold out show at Newcastle’s The Cluny. Pit Pony have supported IDLES at a sold out 1,000 cap Newcastle date, The Wedding Present at the O2 Academy in Leeds as well as playing slots with The Futureheads, PigsX7 and LIFE. Previously the band sold out their first 7” for single ‘Hard Rainfall’.
