The Pony Collaboration

About Me

The Pony Collaboration are a band who enjoy talking about themselves in the third person.

In April 2007 they released their first album on Series 8 Records. There was much rejoicing throughout the land.

The album was named DisCover Album of the Month in Drowned In Sound and was followed by a single, ‘The Fast Lane’, which received national radio play, and was hailed by Steve Lamacq as "charming and almost timeless".

The Pony Collaboration have recently completed work on their second album, ‘If These Are The Good Times’, which is due for release later this year.
