September 2023 Rock/Pop Record Reviews

Pit Pony: World to Me Clue Records CLUE118 (LP). 2023. Chris McManus, eng. & prod. Performance **** Sonics ***½ Pit Pony is a young band that hails from Tyneside, Newcastle, an English region once best known as one of Britain's main coalmining areas. In the early days of British coalmining, pit ponies were the engines for moving coal. They rarely saw the light of day. I truly hope this Pit Pony does, because this, their debut, is a powerhouse of an album. It may be my Album of the Year.
