All of the awesome songs from the show shall never be forgotten, and EnergyTone’s cover of Apples to the Core is giving the musician’s Rock spin to the original all while paying much tribute to it. Rocking riffs and energetic vocals are all chanting that anthem for the Apple family all over again, including Pinkie of course!

Crusader! – Time To Be Awesome (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Pop Punk
Crusader covers his favorite song from the movie in his signature style, uplifting guitar and vocals ahoy! Singing like a pirate from the crew at heart, the musician cheers for Captain Celaeno and the other sky pirates in his own way, and not without performing a super cool guitar solo near the end! I’m sure Rainbow Dash would approve. By the way, her birthaversary is coming up, on February 1st this year!

Luck Rock – One Day | Pop Punk / Power Pop
What a powerful song, Changelings need love too! Luck Rock did an awesome punk / power pop anthem, with really catchy lyrics and really awesome guitar riffs and with amazing drumming! The vocals are on point, one of the things that I love from Luck Rock is the vocal harmonies. The lyrics are really deep and I love how it describes the feeling of the Changelings, demanding that they are good and that they demand more love! Good job Luck, keep up the good work!
Pinkamena Party – A STICKY SITUATION AT FLANKSGIVING DINNER| Compilation Album | Multi-Genre
Editor’s note: Listener discretion is advised, but not obligatory if you’re hardcore enough.
Hey kids, do you like hardcore music?! Do you like earraping fun?! Do you like celebrating Thanksgiving in a different way?! (And a week late too, oops!) Do you like to support awesome charities?! If so you are in the right place!
Let’s celebrate Flanksgiving, where you instead of thanks everything and everyone, you do naughty things! That’s right! At Flanksgiving we do the craziest things in the world! So yeah, listen to this album for celebrate! The Pinkamena Party Crew gave to birth another crazy compilation full of awesome and hard songs mostly about celebrating the Flanksgiving or stupid situations at Flanksgiving! And you better buy it, because the money will go to support an association that helps children with cancer. Download or buy at the Pinkamena Party bandcamp page.
Crusader! – Let’s go to Ponyville! | Pop Punk
Crusader! is here with a fantastic pop punk anthem for the town of Ponyville. This song just seeps with the sound of those early 2000’s tunes you would find on MTV. All this song needs is a cheesy music video that contains copious amounts of skateboarding and frosted tips. Cheers to Crusader! for capturing that feeling and turning it into a song about our favorite town in Equestria!
Przewalski’s Ponies – Derpy (Live Polish Version 2016) (feat. SDreamExplorerS) | New Wave / Post-Punk
Amazing performance by Przewalski’s Ponies featuring the bass playing by SDreamExplorerS! The song was played with a lot of energy and stage attitude! Singing the song in Polish, makes this live performance even better! I love when people use other languages instead of English! Every member of the band had a lot of energy! Velvet vocals are amazing live and the rap section of Andy is pure awesomeness! The instrumentation done by SDreamExplorerS, 4/3 and Gliss it’s also pretty well played live! Everyone did an awesome job on this live performance and I’m glad that you find someone to record it! Amazing song, amazing performance and amazing band!
Sable Symphony – Forever | Melodic Metalcore
A headbanging and melodic track coming from the awesome Sable Symphony! The track about Twilight’s immortality and the loss of her best friends comes with deep and emotional lyrics, well performed vocals such in the harsh and clean way (Sable does really the 2 pretty well), and the melodic guitar riffs and solos are really amazing and wake you up. This track is really my banger right now, I really needed a New School Melodic Metalcore track with that amazing breakdowns and low-pitched harsh vocals mixed with high-pitched harsh vocals! Kinda reminds me of Metal Core Pony! Sable Symphony, you did an awesome track! Keep doing an awesome work! Stay brutal!
Luck Rock – I Can Change (feat. Crusader!) | Ska Punk
Luck Rock teamed up with Crusader to create a lovely and heartfelt homage to Thorax and Spike helping him see the light and acceptance that everyone can get if they “change” to a better self. Mellow and pony-like vocals blend with an awesome Ska Punk instrumental, and the duet of the rock musicians is such a wonderful display of harmony! Friendship is Magic!
