The Irish rock outfit Pony Club is the brainchild of former cab driver, Mark Cullen. While growing up in the rough neighborhoods of Dublin, Ireland, Cullen daydreamed of becoming an artist. He worshipped Brian Wilson as a teenager, and gained respect for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg as a young adult. By the new millennium, Cullen finally threw caution to the wind, founded Pony Club started writing songs. In mid-2001, he recorded his debut album in his childhood bedroom. Signed to Setanta Records, Pony Club released Home Truths in summer 2002. American dates with Morrissey were scheduled to follow. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
