Resembling a high-school version of the Donnas, these winsome twee-pop girls write songs about kissing boys and, well, kissing boys. They got their break after meeting Aussie popsmith Ben Lee at a gig; impressed with their demo, he had them open for him on tour and then signed him to his Ten Fingers label. “We were just screwing around and having fun and it made us get our shit together,” says singer/multi-instrumentalist Camilia Ingr. Though they were initially more enthusiastic than competent, Pony Up! have “drastically improved,” says Dan Seligman, director of red-hot indie rock fest Pop Montreal. “They have the ability to write a great pop song.” ~ Spin Magazine
