Pony up with "In it for the tail" (the opening track is called "The Truth About Cats & Dogs Is That They Die"....hahah we all think that's funny.) Well its an allllll girl pop stomper with strong Canadian accents. A pretty nice tune with some good break downs and arrangements without the big chorus it deserves. It is there but it isn't as good as the verse. yeh nice pop though. B-sides a slower number with some cool organ on it which builds to a climax.... ladies please!!!Pony Up is your existential dream team. Laura Wills (vocals/keyboard) is the neighbour-girl you watched metamorphose from a heartbroken teen into a cynical sensua list 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.
