Two Tone Pony—

NSW-based five-piece band, Two Tone Pony, has released the new single You Haven’t Heard of Me Yet. The band comprises David Kirkpatrick, Brandon Smith, Graham Puglisi, Glenn Willey and Greg Richardson.

Carefree and knowingly self-aware, the single leans into the band’s strengths, including sharp storytelling and a lived-in sense of authenticity. Produced by multiple Golden Guitar Award winning producer Rod McCormack, the track feels both nostalgic and timely, capturing the spirit of chasing dreams long before the spotlight arrives.

“It was inspired by a simple question I was asked by a barmaid when I was staying at Perisher Valley skiing,” recalls front man David. “She asked the question, tell me what you do again? I turned it into a country rock song that tells the story about chasing your dreams no matter what, along with some tongue in cheek observations on the music industry.”

Lyrically, You Haven’t Heard of Me Yet is a wry snapshot of the musician’s grind, playing neighbourhood bars and measuring success in moments rather than metrics. The release marks a renewed chapter for Two Tone Pony after the departure of founding member Ian Rhodes, a loss deeply felt within the band.

“Ian unfortunately had to retire due to hearing concerns but Brandon on fiddle, lap steel, mandolin and guitar provides a palette of sounds and influences that open up many new possibilities and directions for the band’s songs and future direction,” says David.

​​​​​​​Two Tone Pony’s ability to tell authentic stories continues to be the backbone of the band’s appeal. You Haven’t Heard of Me Yet doesn’t chase trends or polish away its edges, it embraces the long road, the late nights, and the quiet belief that the next song might be the one. It’s a statement of intent from a band that knows exactly who they are.
