Pondlife are a London-based alternative rock four-piece: Matt Gregory, Arthur Sharples, Tom Brownill and Poppy Sharples.

Their sound blends loud, loose, fuzzed-out guitars with wistful, tightly crafted melodies that sit somewhere between the '90s underground and today's DIY scene — Pavement, Weezer and Duster are in the mix.

New single Kinda Strange pairs heavy, saturated guitars with sweet, wistful vocals, piecing together memories of a relationship in the twilight haze of hindsight. Released 23 October 2026, recorded and mixed by Louis Milburn and mastered by Felix Davis. Pre-save / release smartlink.

Their debut EP, Cello, is out now. Recorded live in a single day, it was recorded and mixed by Louis Milburn and mastered by Felix Davis, whose credits include Geese, Led Zeppelin and Yard Act.

The EP has picked up coverage from outlets including Get In Her Ears, who praised 'Cello' for its “scuzzy hooks and swirling atmospherics”, Japan's Niche Music, who praised its '90s slacker sound and recommended Pondlife to listeners of Built to Spill and Dinosaur Jr, and Dark Impala's roundup of emerging rock acts.
