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 one year, PONS is an undeniable first 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; adeluge 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-fulled 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” was released on tape in September 2025 via Dedstrange Records (a new label run by Oliver Ackermann of A Place To Bury Strangers & Death By Audio). Recorded with a previous iteration of the band, Heavens to Peter is a righteous conclusion of the “old” guitar-driven PONS sound.
BEAR WITNESS TO PONS.
