IF YOU STOP YOU DIE

Rock ’n’ roll will never be a lazy game. PONS is here to set the record straight.

Following in the footsteps of the masters of the road that came before them, PONS takes a relentless, “NO MERCY” approach to DIY touring. Burning more calories on stage in one night than most bands do in a year, PONS is an undeniable force of sound heading for the throat of culture.

Transitioning from a conventional band to the solo project of visionary frontman and founding member Jack Parker in 2024, PONS has been confronting audiences with blood-pumping electronic dance punk that is as immediately captivating as it is angular, aggressive, and in-your-face.

No life is spared at a PONS show. Supporting notable acts such as Gogol Bordello, Lambrini Girls, Laura Jane Grace, Geese, Vundabar, and A Place to Bury Strangers, PONS leave it all to bear on stage — a deluge of smashed gear, contorting bodies, bright lights, throttling beats, and glam-rock bravado.

Taking cues from artists like Iggy Pop, Suicide, LCD Soundsystem, and Crystal Castles, PONS spew the digital bile of our dystopic, internet-fueled hellscape right at the listener — simultaneously embracing and deriding rock ’n’ roll’s most brash and over-the-top tropes.

The “lost” PONS album Heavens to Peter is releasing on tape in September 2025 via Dedstrange Records — a new label run by Oliver Ackermann of A Place to Bury Strangers and Death By Audio. Recorded with a previous iteration of the band, Heavens to Peter is a righteous conclusion to the “old,” guitar-driven PONS sound.

BEAR WITNESS TO PONS.
