Pit Pony are a caustic, fuzz-rock five-piece from Tyneside, who today share new single ‘Black Tar’ which is their first new music since 2020. They also announce that they have signed to Leeds label Clue Records, home to Bored At My Grandma’s House, YOWL, The Wedding Present, and more.

Speaking about the track, Jackie explains “It’s quite literally about anxiety, about putting the work in to improve things and going back to the beginning. Feeling like you can’t get anything right and you’ll feel like that forever. The whole track being the same riff throughout, and driven by the constant throbbing bass, really conveys the feeling of that constant cycle. That treadmill you feel like you can’t get off.”

Jackie continues, “Of course you do get off, and you can feel better, but it takes time and work. The jagged and garagey sound lends itself to the stark melody and lyrics. It’s not one to overthink. By the end of the song I’m telling myself to snap out of it and keep going.”

With their foot firmly on the throttle, new single ‘Black Tar’ kicks in at 100mph and never lets up from it’s breakneck drive forward. Joined with a video that showcases the live energy they’re becoming renowned for.
