After the jump, get to know Chrome Pony:

Hailing from right here in Nashville, punk-tinged garage rock trio Chrome Pony is made up of two brothers, Kyle and Tyler Davis, along with recently added bassist Jon Gottschalk. They erupted onto the scene into 2011 with their powerful, grungy, turbocharged EP, Illegal Smiles, before following it up with their latest full-length, Lazy Bones, earlier this year. Lazy Bones takes the aesthetic and broad range of influences set by Illegal Smiles, and cranks things up a notch, giving a deeper nod to old school, no-bs rock and roll and heightened pop sensibilities balanced by punk tendencies, while benefitting from tighter songwriting and heightened production value.

One of our favorite underground bands in a seemingly flooded scene of Nashville indie rock acts, Chrome Pony set themselves apart by never limiting their sound to any narrow, preconceived niche, pulling the best elements from a plethora of influences, and never quite doing the same thing twice. They’ve become a dependable supporting act for a broad range of performers lately, because their live show is always high energy and top notch. Don’t believe us? Check out the video below.
