Dead Pony, formerly known as Crystal, is a rock band from Glasgow, Scotland. The band started as a duo comprising vocalist Anna Shields and guitarist Blair Crichton after Shields wanted a guitarist to make music with. After the duo formed Crystal with three of their university classmates, the band supported Paolo Nutini at a BBC Scotland's Hogmanay concert, appeared on Tony Visconti's Unsigned Heroes, and released the Sex Rich EP. Shields and Crichton then formed a quartet with bassist Lizzie Reid and drummer Aidan McAllister and released numerous singles, before Liam Adams replaced Reid and the band changed their name to Dead Pony. After Euan Lyons replaced McAllister, the band released the EP War Boys, which was inspired by the 2015 movie Mad Max: Fury Road, and performed at numerous festivals. Their 2024 album, Ignore This, charted at No. 8 on the Scottish Album Charts.
