| BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: |
| I bet Pony Da Look broke all the rules when they were in school, because they do now. Somehow, they still get away with it. With only keys, synths and drums, these four ladies sure can teach a room how to dance with their indie-new wave sound. Maybe it's because of singer Amy Bowles' intimidating stare? |

| Comment:I'd heard a lot about this quartet of females before their set at the Murderecords showcase on Thursday night, but I still wasn't expecting what I heard. The sound emitted from Bowles' mouth when she first opened it was borderline demonic, but as the show went on, it was easier to understand how all Pony Da Look's components fit together. It is perhaps a little far out when it comes to the usual type of rock 'n' roll out there, but pushing the envelope is what rock is all about. |

Bowles knows how to work the stage, but her constant stare makes you uncomfortable after a while. You'll start to think you've been caught cheating. Their '80s inspired look, however, will make you want to keep looking. It's hard to take your eyes off reflective gold leggings and big hair. How very Degrassi. |

Pony Da Look have a definitive sound, and it works well for them. Not everybody could pull off what they do. On their self-proclaimed "dance song," Bowles stopped using the voice that'll give me nightmares tonight, and her vocals and harmonies from the rest sounded perfect. By far the most improved students. |

Pony Da Look have a way of bringing people into their world, even if they seemed to be working out a couple of kinks on Thursday night. They're on their way to doing something great, and their efforts have been noted. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
