Sydney's indie rock lords, Bad Pony haunt your dreams with killer, catchy new single, 'Freddy Krueger'
Sydney-based indie rock lords, Bad Pony haunt you in your dreams with a deliriously catchy indie-dance single, ‘Freddy Krueger’.
Fast becoming a favourite in the Australian Indie scene, Bad Pony present ‘Freddy Krueger’ as the final instalment of a horror-inspired spattering of singles that the band have recently released.
The 80s/8-bit game synth sets the creepy tone for a dark indie-dance good time in ‘Freddy Krueger’. Bad Pony employ different lyrical nods to 80s horror nostalgia, and little audio tricks, from vocoders and creepy organs, to horror movie samples. It’s the falsetto hook, stabby bass, and that cheeky heavy disco beat that will grip on to you though. ‘Freddy Krueger’ is such a cool, creepy track, that it will be stuck in your head and stalk you in your dreams.
Bad Pony have spent their career together on the road touring their two self-produced EPs, gaining airplay on national radio and international streaming success on a string of singles.
After playing to packed out venues across Texas at SXSW in 2018, Bad Pony’s explosive live show earned such praise from SXSW as "next in line to break out" as well as the award for ‘Best Australian Group’, as voted by The AU Review after playing Sounds Australia’s ‘The Aussie BBQ’ at the inaugural Australia House Showcase alongside national legends Gang of Youths.
Bad Pony have spent the last few years carefully crafting their debut album, which is set for release later this year. The band have self-produced much of the record, whilst enlisting the expertise of Alex L’Estrange on mixing duties (Jaguar Jonze, Hope D, My Own Pet Radio).
You need to let ‘Freddy Krueger’ in to your head right now, via all streaming platforms.
