The Binnacle List plays indie-rock as it sounded in the mid 90's, drawing inspiration from names such as Weezer and The Pixies. But apart from those bands, the sound of TBL is it at times somewhat grandious and tends to lead your mind towards the likes of The Killers and Manic Street Preachers. In other words, their sound is nostalgic, in the most positive sense.

The band was formed in 2010 by former members of Marvins Revolt and Swimm TV Ish TV.

The forthcoming 5-track EP is the third one recorded and mixed by Jacob ”Snake” Nielsen (Lack, Rising, Anchorless, Total Heels a.o.) at the Copenhagen based studio French Fingers.

Two Trick Pony plays guitar driven noise pop centred around the three female front figures. The band challenges pop music with strong melodies in dreamy harmonies wrapped in the sound of raging guitars. The fiery pony has been running wild since the beginning of 2012, and on its way it has impressed icons as former MTV-host Ray Cokes and Danish National Music-magazine GAFFA and multiple music blogs and Danish newspapers. 

Now Two Trick Pony is finally ready to release the crowdfunded debutalbum ‘The Horses Are Coming’. The Album is a unique mix of Sixties’ pop sound and dusty Rock n’ Roll with a hint of a feminine fragility and sweetness. Heartache and hope goes hand in hand in the 9 songs, which declare spring is near.

Inspiration:
Blonde Redhead, The Raveonettes, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Violent Femmes, BRMC, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Breeders, The Pretenders. etc.

Releases:
Feb. 2014 ‘The Horses are Coming’. LP/CD/Digital album release 
Jan. 2014 ‘Head over Heels’. Digital Single release.

March 2012 “A Two Trick Pony Attack” EP.


6 ½ /10  Rockfreaks.net  (October 2012) ”Two Trick Pony is a band that mixes the fuzzy rumblings of lo-fi indie and post punk (think Yuck, The Jesus And Mary Chain etc.)with a country twang and try to wrap things up in catchy little compositions that can be enjoyed as a highly unique sort of alternative pop. The ideas presented on the EP by the band are certainly a lot more unusual than you can otherwise hear in the Danish musical landscape.”

***** Gaffa (Danish Music Mag. May 2012) ”A dreamy spring full of summerskirts and heartaches. Five good, springlike songs which show huge promise for the forthcoming concerts and albums”. 

Danish Music Mag. Gaffa’s selected Artist SMUKFEST.  (August 2012). ”In front are three hot ladies and they have lived, which they tell through their songs. It hurts, but in the good way. Expect edgy beats, surprising guitar riffs , action and hooklines you don’t forget.”

Ray Cokes’ (Legendary MTV-host) SELECTED band for the Rock N’ Talkshow Ray’s Guesthouse, Germany. (May 2012).
