The band Dragon Pony (Dragon Pony/Ahn Tae-gyu, Pyeon Seong-hyeon, Kwon Se-hyeok, Go Kang-hoon) will be releasing their second EP, ‘Not Out’, through various music sites at 6 PM today (the 19th).

The title song of the same name as the EP, ‘Not Out’, is a song that compares the appearance of modern youth who constantly challenge themselves toward their dreams to a baseball term. With the motto, ‘It‘s not over yet!’, it contains a message of hope and passion that if you move forward with a strong will even in an uncertain and bleak reality like a long tunnel, you will eventually achieve your dreams.

In particular, Dragon Pony reflects on the meaning of a challenging life itself. The four members’ passionate musical energy combines with lyrics that any youth can relate to. The musical instruments placed in the right places maximize emotional immersion with a flowing composition, and CEO Yoo Hee-yeol added to the lyrics to make it even more complete.

The music video released with the sound source shows Dragon Pony completely immersed in the band‘s performance. The energetic band sound that unfolds as if galloping toward a dream gives thrills to the viewers. It fully captures the passion of the four members who never give up even in the face of failure and despair.

In addition, this EP includes the sub-title song ‘NEVER’, which depicts the moment when you decide to break up after hesitating, with an appealing voice and a strong rock sound in the latter half, ‘Waste’, which is perfect for enjoying the stage with a fast beat filled with various FX sounds, ‘Itself (To. Nosy Boy)’, which features a vintage sound and a splendid driving performance section including a guitar solo in the latter half, and ‘On Air’, which contains the excitement and thrill before going on stage, for a total of 5 songs that combine various genres based on an authentic rock sound.

‘Not Out’ is a new EP that Dragonpony is releasing about 6 months after the release of their first EP ‘POP UP’. Each track contains Dragonpony’s autobiographical narrative and a cross-section of their imperfect youth. Following ‘POP UP’, the four members took the lead in writing, composing, and arranging all the songs for ‘Not Out’ as well. Dragon Pony cleverly utilizes their wide musical spectrum to prove their outstanding musical ability once again.

Dragon Pony‘s second EP ‘Not Out’ will be released today (the 19th) at 6 PM through various music streaming sites.
