Go Go Ponies - Alcohol You Later (FULL EP) - Video

The Italian thrash metal band Go Go Ponies, formed in Milan, is known for their sound that combines the aggressive energy and fast riffs of thrash metal with elements of glam and hard rock, delivering ironic and fun songs with a unique aesthetic. Their album The Greatest (2022) features tracks such as “Tiger Thrash” and “Sharknado Circle Pit”, with lyrics that address themes of overcoming, humor and pop culture, supporting messages against prejudice and promoting female empowerment. Below, I present an analysis of the bands that likely share similarities with Go Go Ponies, focusing on Italian and international bands, considering their style of thrash metal with glam influences and irreverent approach.

Italian bands
Nanowar of Steel: From Rome (Giorgio Mastrota, 2012), Nanowar of Steel is known for their “parody metal”, mixing power and thrash metal with humor and satirical lyrics. If Go Go Ponies emphasize irony and fun, Nanowar is a close reference.

Alltheniko: From Vercelli (We Will Fight!, 2007), Alltheniko combines thrash metal with classic heavy metal, with melodic riffs and upbeat energy. If Go Go Ponies have an accessible touch, Alltheniko is similar.

Extrema: From Milan (Tension at the Seams, 1993), Extrema mixes thrash with groove metal and a punk attitude. If Go Go Ponies explore grooves and raw energy, Extrema is a valid comparison.

Schizo: From Catania (Main Frame Collapse, 1989), Schizo is a thrash metal band with death and black metal influences, but with a direct and theatrical approach. If Go Go Ponies have an aggressive side, Schizo is an influence.

Death SS: From Pesaro (In Death of Steve Sylvester, 1988), Death SS combines thrash, heavy metal and an eccentric aesthetic with macabre humor. If Go Go Ponies uses theatrical elements, Death SS is a reference.

International bands
Municipal Waste: From the USA (The Art of Partying, 2007), Municipal Waste is a leader of crossover thrash, with humorous lyrics and fast riffs. If Go Go Ponies has a fun vibe, Municipal Waste is an obvious influence.

Steel Panther: From the USA (Feel the Steel, 2009), Steel Panther mixes glam metal with humor and irony, flirting with thrash in heavy riffs. If Go Go Ponies incorporates glam, Steel Panther is similar.

Anthrax: From the USA (Among the Living, 1987), Anthrax combines thrash metal with humor and pop culture, as in “I’m the Man”. If Go Go Ponies have a lighthearted approach, Anthrax is a solid comparison.

D.R.I.: From the US (Dealing with It!, 1985), D.R.I. are pioneers of crossover thrash, with punk energy and irreverent lyrics. If Go Go Ponies have punk influences, D.R.I. are an influence.

Shared characteristics
Thrash with humor: Go Go Ponies combine fast and aggressive thrash riffs with ironic and humorous lyrics, similar to Municipal Waste, Nanowar of Steel and Anthrax.

Glam/hard rock influences: The band’s glam aesthetic and upbeat energy, as seen on The Greatest, align the band with Steel Panther and Alltheniko.

Crossover punk: The band’s punk attitude and rhythmic simplicity connect the Go Go Ponies to D.R.I. and Extrema.

Pop and irreverent themes: Lyrics about pop culture and overcoming obstacles, such as “Sharknado Circle Pit,” reflect the approach of Death SS.

Italian scene: The Go Go Ponies operate in the vibrant Italian underground scene, sharing the theatricality and DIY spirit of Schizo and Nanowar of Steel.
