Rusty has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. They have such a notable vibe and style to all of their releases and ‘Always be there’ is definitely another example. A happy upbeat tune with a simpler yet lovely sound; This one is actually about solving problems. More specifically about unhappiness and hope. Rusty’s vocals are on point as always and there are always some fun little quips to look forward to with their storytelling.

Velvet R. Wings & Andy Feelin – Chrysalis (Can’t Get Away) | Disco
It’s Disco Night at the Changeling Hive! Velvet and Andy provide the perfect changeling track to dance the night away to, and the lovely lyrics are a perfect match for Velvet’s cute vocals. Andy did amazing on the instrumental too and they both certainly paid much tribute to both that musical genre and to Chrysalis! An uplifting and delightful treat, from the Transition album!
Vylet Pony & Sylver – Roses / Overrun / The Prince of Sorrow | Indie Pop / Progressive Rock
The last tracks off Homeward to be uploaded to YouTube, these 3 definitely show the extent of Vylet’s musical skills and inspirations. All while calling back to the story in musical ways, the tracks exhibit atmospheric bliss, Funk craziness, and Prog Rock reawakening, all in style! Listen to all 3 in this single video for a gorgeous and stunning experience featuring art by GloomyNyan!
MelodyBrony – The Wonderbolts | Pop Punk
An electric theme for the Wonderbolts coming at you at full speed, this new song by MelodyBrony sure does match the cover art, and provides such a rocking tribute to Equestria’s air force! A lovely and delightful Pop Punk fan song of both vocal and instrumental greatness!
Forest Rain – CHRISSY | Pop Punk
I’m so happy that Chrissy is getting some more love all around in the community, and the pony music scene certainly is on it, with Forest Rain doing us the honors of an amazing Pop Punk treat about the Changeling Queen! Spontaneous fan songs echoing feelings for our beloved characters are just the best! Follow Forest along the rocking riffs, inspired lyrics and lovely vocals, and let’s spread our love and passion loud and wide!
Vylet Pony – The Armada (feat. FlightRush & Roymond) | Orchestral / Dubstep
Continuing their releases from the stellar Homeward album This track opens with a tense, icy arpeggio and orchestrated leitmotif. Before transitioning into a much grittier and intense rush of energy and intricate bass and piercing leads to announce the attack of Spectre’s fleet. The breakdown is amazing as well with a chilling and heavy piano melody and a very dense and airy atmosphere that gives off a brave and hopeful mood and overall is a very stellar piece from the album and if you haven’t already, I highly recommend listening to the album in its entirety (the songs are designed to transition together seamlessly which is amazing) and to give the story a read while doing so as it really helps build the world each song is conveying.
[P@D] BlueBrony – Flight Machine | Orchestral Pop
BlueBrony‘s pony passion and imagination are always such a delight to witness in his pieces, and his contribution to Ponies at Dawn Skyward is quite the display of both story-telling and musical prowess! Along with much emotion from the rich composition, the unique vocals are gracing the album and telling BlueBrony’s tale of ponies building an airship, and it’s so very appreciated! We love you BlueBrony!
Vylet Pony – The Magic of Friendship | Indie Pop
Kicking off the countdown to Vylet’s new upcoming album Love Letters: Colourless, The Magic of Friendship foretells a tender love story and sweet pony feelings, conveyed by soft vocals and delicate instrumentals! It definitely sounds that way and the story that we can read so far is mysterious and exciting! Let’s see where this takes us, along the musician’s craftsponyship!
Crusader! – Cafeteria Song (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Pop Rock
Going from one inspiration to the next, Crusader’s newest treat is a rocking rendition of the cherished Cafeteria Song from the first EQG movie, and it does wonders with an energetic beat, cute vocals, and the blissful sound of guitars! One More!
Vylet Pony – Asphyxiated | Progressive Electronic
Reaching for even more mustical styles and creative endeavors at the same time as the characters from her story are reaching for the stars, Vylet’s track Asphyxiated from the concept album Homeward exhibits impressive vocals as well as a melodic and progressive electronic instrumental that feels so nostalgic to the enthusiast’s ear. A shining beauty, and another part of the story in musical form!
