This is a 21+ event w/ valid ID at Soda Bar - San Diego. IF YOU STOP YOU DIE - Rock n’ Roll will never be a lazy game. PONS is here to set the record straight. Channeling the wild, untamable spirit of the masters of the road that came before them, PONS brings a relentless, “NO MERCY” approach to DIY touring. Burning more calories in one night than most bands do in a year, PONS doesn’t play music—they detonate on stage. Named “NYC’s Hardest Working Band” in 2022 (and a blistering runner-up in 2023) by Oh My Rockness, PONS has blitzed through 150+ shows worldwide, earning their place as one of the most vital and chaotic forces in the NYC underground. In 2024, PONS evolved into a solo project of visionary frontman Jack Parker, and the transformation is nothing short of a sonic nuclear meltdown. A storm of sound, fury, and passion so fierce, a PONS show can only be described as sublime madness. It’s angular. It’s aggressive. It’s a relentless sonic assault that drags you into the future, kicking and screaming. Sharing the stage with heavyweights like Gogol Bordello, Lambrini Girls, Geese, Vundabar, and A Place To Bury Strangers, PONS take no prisoners. Leaving behind a trail of smashed gear, contorted bodies, blinding lights, and frenetic, throttling beats, it’s pure glam-rock bravado colliding with punk’s raw edge and electronica’s dystopian pulse. Taking cues from the anarchic swagger of Iggy Pop, the electronic chaos of Suicide, the slick groove of LCD Soundsystem, and the haunting, glitch-filled world of Crystal Castles, PONS spits the digital bile of our decaying, internet-saturated world straight in your face. Their debut LP, “The Liquid Self”, released in October 2023 via Dedstrange (the label helmed by Oliver Ackermann of A Place To Bury Strangers and Death By Audio), is a combustible manifesto of everything PONS stands for—raw, unrelenting, and electrifying.
