Lunar Drift has written a song about best pony, and I have the honor of reviewing it! Alternative Rock usually isn’t my thing, but Lunar Drift makes it very enjoyable. Starting with some samples of Starlight’s brainwashing in S5E01, it smoothly transitions into top-notch guitar playing. All throughout, the deliciously foreboding sense of impending danger remains, like the surveillance in Our Town.
Editor’s note: And if you like this, remember to check out the entire ASOS: Lollipop album!
A new deep pony song from Obscura, Great and Powerful this time pays tribute to Trixie and her amazing character depth as suggested by her exile at the end of Magic Duel and actually depicted in the show in No Second Prances as she was loosing her first true friend. Touching and thoughtful lyrics are brought to life by Obscura’s beautiful vocals, both soft and strong throughout the progression of the track, which doesn’t lack of an enjoyable Alt Rock instrumental to complete the lovely experience.
Another great track from the newest and awesome P@D album: Guardians. Flittzy bring us a great tune reminding me of 90’s music acts such as Primal Scream. This tune, which talks about the relation between Twilight and Princess Luna, has everything for becoming the best song on this great album full of surprises! First the vocals are well performed, Flittzy does an awesome job singing and we already know that! Second is the writing capacity of Flittzy, those lyrics were really cool, awesome and with some really meaningful messages. Third is the mixing and instrumentation, the instrumental is very good and the mix between the guitars and the drum machine was pretty awesome, don’t forget the mix between the instrumental and the vocals that was pretty kickass also!
Don’t forget to buy or download the full Guardians to listen and admire other artists from this lovely fandom! I LOVE YOU ALL ’cause You and I take part in something greater!
Other amazing track from the latest and hottest album from P@D: Guardians! Silver Note is one of that artists from this fandom that gets me vibes from other artists that I love! First Silver gave me Radiohead vibes on Stars and now for P@D, Silver gave me and probably everyone, Muse vibes! Shatter is a great tune reminding me of the old-school Muse albums such as Showbiz, The Origin of Symmetry and Absolution. The vocals, the guitar, the drums, the mixing quality, the lyrics, everything! Silver made this song with passion and with a theme that every brony loves! The battle between Tirek and Twilight!
Don’t forget to download or buy the whole album from P@D, Guardians! Last chance! Will you bow?
One of my favorite releases of this month because of the pony feelings inside it, this new tune by Donn DeVore was inspired by his own feelings toward Rainbow Dash as he went camping with her in real life… Partaking in sweet and blissful moments with her among Nature, he wanted to convey those feelings in a song, to further express his love, and to share it with the world! This cute and amazing Alt Rock gem is the result, with lyrics filled with love and the happiness of shared moments with ponies, beautiful and passionate vocals, and a wonderful instrumental complementing it all with both acoustic and electric guitars and delightful Alt Rock drums. As a bonus, the title of the song is referencing the place introduced in S03E06 Sleepless in Ponyville, when they went camping!
A very promising pony musician, Obscura releases a much important and meaningful piece, since it took a lot of time and is also the first time that the musician has recorded his own instruments live! With a message reflecting Thorax’s story and the fate of changelings in general, the soft and genuine Alt Rock song brings beautiful vocals along a nice instrumental not lacking of awesome guitar solos!

Shortly before we started the Horse Music Herald, Francis Vace released his first full album (of his current discography that hopefully won’t be deleted from Bandcamp any time soon) – Lost In A Pastel Hue. Now (okay, a couple of months ago) the time has come for a second full-length release. In a similar vein, The Old Mare And The Sea contains a variety of styles, draws from a few different influences, and contains solo work, collabs, and covers. We start off with upbeat pop-punk and ska solo pieces, followed by a long string of collaborative works and covers, with a couple more solo originals bookending the end of the album. In essence, the album works as a showcase for most of the different kind of styles, formats and types of song that you can find on Francis’s YouTube channel. So whether you follow his music for one particular style or for all of them, this album has something to offer everyone.
The Old Mare And The Sea is available to download on Francis Vace’s Bandcamp.
It’s always so good to get some honest and gritty Alt/Indie rock, you get to see the core of rock spirit more closely, and Vivix certainly delights with this Starlight-themed track. With the perfect indie rock sound, it lets the guitar riffs talk, and brings genuine vocals that are just as enjoyable. Let’s show our support and rock the garage rehearsal room!
I’ve been wishing for this to happen ever since I fell in love with Dashie’s mom, and Forest Rain & Friends made it happen. It was truly only a matter of time until Pony1Kenobi’s classic got adapted to Windy Whistles’ charm and especially in light of her rocketing popularity among the community. Now it’s finally time to rock out to our new anthem definitely full of talent and awesome rocking vibes, as we passionately browse Derpibooru or other image boards in search of more Windy Whistles material and fine art.
The personification (or more like ponification) of Rock greatness, Steely Hooves just created epicness out of a sleepless night. Calling forth Luna’s mighty power, sick vocals and the perfect pony rock lyrics are completing a blissful instrumental where amazing guitar solos and riffs stand alongside tasty bass and drums play. A true anthem for the sleepless, and powerful tribute to Luna!
