Distorted Pony formed in 1986 in Los Angeles, California with Dora Jahr on bass and David Uskovich on guitar. The band initially used a drum machine to handle percussion duties. In 1988, the duo recruited drummer Theodore Jackson and guitarist Robert Hammer. The group's first release was the "Concrete Bruises" 7" single, which was released in 1990 through Piece of Mind. The single was limited to only 1000 copies. In 1991, the band recruited guitarist London May. After the release of extended plays and compilation appearances, the group released their debut album Punishment Room in 1992 through Bomp!. The album was recorded in January 1992 with the help of Steve Albini. The band recorded another album with Albini the following year before breaking up in August 1993. The album, titled Instant Winner, was released posthumously in 1994 through Trance Syndicate.
