Due to a hectic schedule as of late, I haven't had the chance to write half as much as I'd like. So I've decided to take full advantage of this opportunity and to get caught up on the slew of activity in indiedom as well as the normal ranting for the first installment of While Were Out.
On April 20th Chicago's garage punks, The Pony's will release their their first batch of new songs since releasing 2007's Turn Out The Lights. Matador will issue Deathbed + 4 (EP)digitally and on 12" vinyl. The band has made the track Check The Door available over at the Matablog. The track is a departure from the previous output with Jared Gummere leading the band through a slow down, Ian Curtisesque tune, that The Pony's have been headed for since adding guitarist Brian Case.
