Dead Pony Roar Back with Ferocious New Single Eat My Dust!
Scottish rock outfit tease heavier direction and announce festival dates at Slam Dunk and All Points East
Dead Pony are wasting no time in 2026 — and they’re not looking back. The Glasgow-based four-piece return with a furious new single, Eat My Dust!, out now via ADA, accompanied by a slick video directed by Zak Pinchin. The track marks their first new music since the release of their acclaimed debut album and comes ahead of a packed summer that includes slots at Slam Dunk Festival and All Points East.
“Letting the Haters Choke on Your Dust Cloud”
Built around crunching riffs, metalcore-inflected grooves and vocalist Anna Shields’ electrifying delivery, Eat My Dust! captures a band charging into a new chapter with confidence and grit.
Guitarist Blair Crichton shares:
“It’s written about moving on from negative things in your past, bettering yourself and letting the haters choke on your dust cloud as you pass them.”
He adds, “We had fun leaning into heavier influences… the drums and guitar have a metalcore vibe, which is something we want to explore more.”
Dead Pony: Back on Stage This Summer
After a transformative year, the band are set to hit major UK stages once again:
Dead Pony will play Slam Dunk festival this Summer
