Time for something a little more pop-oriented than usual from Francis Vace. It’s a upbeat little duo with the wonderful Itchigotchi with a deceptively sad message about Twilight’s nerdy solitude. Go check it out for happy/sad feels!

[P@D] Luna Ticks – Complication | Punk Rock
A song for Berry Punch: DRINK! Francis Vace and Quicksilver join forces once again for another awesome Luna Ticks song. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – they’re one of my favourite brony collab projects ever, and I envy everyone who will get to see them perform at ROTLCon this November! Anyway, check out this song for some awesome high-speed punk rock!
[P@D] Quicksilver – Breaking Point (feat. StealingShad3z) / Plum Creek Rhythm Section – Glimmer | Punk Rock / Alt. Rock
A collaboration between two of the best rock producers in the fandom music scene at the moment, Quicksilver and StealingShad3Z bring us an awesome punk rock track based on the episode The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows. Quicksilver’s hard rock production skills and Shad3Z’s pop-punk style vocals go together so well here, it sounds so professional!
A more sombre song marks Plum Creek Rhythm Section’s place on this album. Stunning as always, their song takes a sort of alternative perspective from Twilight in the season 5 finale, reaching out to Starlight Glimmer. PCRS also put a second meaning into the lyrics, and I think it would only be right for me to share the message they put in the description:
“If you or someone you know is considering doing themselves serious harm, I encourage you to call the Suicide Hotline at the following number: 1 (800) 273-8255”
Ponies At Dawn – Awakening | Album | Multi-Genre
After weeks, no, months of anticipation, it’s finally here. The new Ponies At Dawn Album, Awakening, has finally been released. A compilation of 54 amazing tracks from just as many artists, this album brings together – in my opinion – one of the best selections of music the brony fandom has to offer. And the best thing is, you can download it for free, or pay whatever you want for it! Here’s to everyone involved for their hard work in putting this together!
♫ We’ll find awakening my friend ♪
♪ We’ll find salvation at the end ♫
♫ Of the world we’ll start again ♪
Crusader! – Power Ponies GO! | Pop-Punk
The original version of this was posted back in January before we started the website, so when this music video appeared, I jumped at the chance to post it! The song is good old bit of pop punk accompanied by a fantastic PMV/animated typography video by Izeer. Go check it out for SUPERHEROES.
Francis Vace – Luna | Punk
More fandom classic covers from Francis Vace! This time it’s his take on Luna, the first ever fandom song with vocals (free fun fact for you), with a…different take on some of the lyrics. If you’re familiar with a certain other cover Francis did, you’ll know what I mean, go check this out!
Acouste Wholenote – Used To | Punk Rock
Acouste Wholenote serves us with a delightful Punk song played in the earnest rock spirit, in tribute to our beloved Princess of the Night. Partake in the appreciation of both the Night and this track, immersing yourself into a nighttime gig perhaps, while The Moon’s Reaching Out Stars!
Crusader! – Apple Family Brand | Folk-Rock
There’s nothing quite like a cider, especially Sweet Apple Acres Cider. Join Crusader! in song as he celebrates the wonder of this quality hand-made family cider, complete with mandolin and harmonica!
NB: Sweet Apple Acres Cider is not a sponsor of the Horse Music Herald, but we sure wish they were…
Rapones – Is Pinkie Pie Related | Punk Rock
Francis Vace teams up with lyricist and singer iRhymeTheSongs and releases Is Pinkie Pie Related, another ponification of 80s band Ramones under the very fitting alias Rapones. Expect some Punk Rock greatness with hints of Ska, as heard in Equestrian gig halls and live bars!
Francis Vace – Lost On The Moon | Ska-Punk
Francis has been on a roll recently with these cover songs (including a couple of non-pony ones). Have his latest – a rendition of WoodenToaster, The Living Tombstone and Rina Chan’s Lost on the Moon, done in his wonderfully unique Ska-Punk style!
