Jetstream Pony - Schrammelig Home Recordings 2017-2022 Jetstream Pony
CD includes three bonus tracks.
Jetstream Pony combine post-punk, indie-pop and power-pop, featuring Beth Arzy (The Luxembourg Signal/Trembling Blue Stars/Aberdeen) on vocals and percussion, Shaun Charman (The Wedding Present/The Popguns/The Fireworks) on guitar and vocals, and Kerry Boettcher (Turbocat) on bass and vocals. The group also currently includes Tom Levesley on drums and Mark Matthews (The Dentists/The Treasures Of Mexico) on second guitar.
The group released their debut single ‘Like You Less / Had Enough’ in late 2017. Two sold out singles followed, leading up to the self-titled debut studio album in May 2020. The album received fantastic reviews, selling out two pressings before being reissued (twice) by Spinout Nuggets in the Autumn and reaching many best-of-year lists.
Another single release, ‘If Not Now, When?’, also sold out later in 2020, and a following mini-album ‘Misplaced Words’ arrived in December 2021, developing the sound from the debut with a balance between indie-pop and something darker - twelve-string guitar and harmonies, but underpinned by heavy bass, and sometimes a two-drummer rhythm section.
Another album followed in 2025, titled ‘Bowerbirds And Blue Things’, with Tom and Mark now included in the recordings, the album also including guest vocals from Eleni Poulou (formerly The Fall).
In the early years, demos were recorded on an iPad by Shuan, and these have now been gathered on an album for sharing - it's Schrammelig.
CD includes three bonus tracks.
