As our excitement for Pond’s newest album 9 reaches absolute all time highs, it was a complete treat to get to sit with front man Nick Allbrook and get to explore everything surrounding the record. If you happen to be out of the loop on Pond, let us kick things off by letting you know they’re legitimately in our short list of favorite bands of all time. These Perth, Australia psychedelic rockers are made up of Nick Allbrook, Jay Watson, Shiny Joe Ryan, James Ireland, and Jamie Terry. Together they’ve consistently been pumping out some of the most sound bending, whizzing, and fresh music of the last decade.
