Glasgow based band Dead Pony have released their brand-new single ‘Freak Like Me’, with the announcement of their upcoming EP Eat My Dust! set for release 15th May via ADA.
Vocalist Anna Shields shares on the track, “‘Freak Like Me’ is a love letter to the outsiders in society – the ones who never quite fit the mould and stopped trying to. It’s about owning every bizarre, messy, sexy, beautiful part of who you are, and finding your people in that chaos. I was really inspired by the energy of The Priory bar Glasgow, where we used to hang out and play our first gigs – sweaty, loud, full of young musicians and misfits just being unapologetically themselves. There was this unspoken understanding that no one had to pretend. That’s the spirit I wanted to bottle in this track – a space where being a ‘freak’ isn’t just accepted; it’s celebrated.”
Speaking on the upcoming EP, Shields says, “We’re stepping into a whole new era of Dead Pony – one that feels bigger, bolder, and more unapologetically us than anything we’ve ever done before. We’ve pulled heavily from our early 2000s influences, but this isn’t about looking back – it’s about reshaping that nostalgia into something that feels fresh, unpredictable, and completely our own.
“More than anything, we wanted this EP to be a statement. There’s chaos and energy running through every track, but underneath it is a band pushing themselves to evolve. We’ve gone further with our songwriting, taken more risks in the studio, and allowed ourselves to experiment in ways we never have before. This is us stepping outside our comfort zone and fully committing to it.”
