Rejoice everypony, The Wonderbolts are BACK with a new song, and this one is ready to ROCK the concert hall! A mighty ponification of Threshold from the fictional band Sex Bob-Omb, it pays tribute to The Rainbooms in much rock spirit, bringing those delightful Garage/Indie/Punk Rock vibes, in an amazing performance and along a very fitting music video made by the band’s drummer, Wootmaster. This is making you want to cheer for the band with a hoof in the air at the gig, or salute the members as you luckily spot them coming out of the garage rehearsal room and carrying their instruments in their cases! Show your support to The Wonderbolts, because this pony band is awesome, and keep rocking!

Quicksilver – A Better Place | Pop Punk
It’s somewhat unusual to see instrumental pieces from Quicksilver, but by no means are they of any lesser quality than any of his other work. And perhaps in this instance it’s for the better. When words fail to express emotion, music sometimes does a better job. A great tribute piece Quicksilver, well done.

Top Ten Pony Songs of October 2016 released!
More community voted Top 10 songs, and a good half of them came from Ponies At Dawn: Voyager, great job by the entire P@D collective. Anyway, take a look at which pony songs* made it into the top 10 this month.
*Oh, and Say by BlackGryph0n & Baasik is in there too for whatever reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[P@D] Francis Vace – Still Waiting | Soft Rock
Francis Vace’s beautiful solo contribution to the Voyager P@D album gets the YouTube video release it deserves, featuring a much inspired and passionate animation from Hackd that really contributes to the depth and the feelings evoked by this much emotional song. Taking on the theme of the headcanon of Twilight’s immortality, it brings all the depth with Francis’ amazing heartfelt vocals along a tender and reflective Soft Rock instrumental, as Twilight shares her inner thoughts and feelings to the moon, wishing that Luna would still be here at her side.
The L-Train – Party Cannon Overdrive (feat. Francis Vace & TheMusicReborn) | Skacore
This is my jam!! An amazing fusion made possible by a most lovely collaboration, this Skacore track blends Francis Vace‘s Ska-Punk style and vocals with The L-Train’s signature Metal sound for a combination of vocal styles and an instrumental of much originality and force, sublimated by a masterful trumpet play from TheMusicReborn. While it looks like our friend Anon is in trouble, we sure are getting the special treatment from Pinkie as she inspired such a wonderful collab. Among the delightful Ska vibes, the heavy guitar riffs, and both the softer and harsher vocals from Francis, this impressive song will take any party to its peak, perhaps triggering an Overdrive!
Fire Frets – Chasing Fate (Covering 4everfreebrony & Relative1Pitch) | Country
Fire Frets serves us with an incredible cover here at the apple orchard for Applejack day, delivering an honest and masterful performance of 4everfreebrony’s original song Chasing Fate featuring Relative1Pitch. Every instrument played with much passion, the musical ride takes us through the emotional piano melodies, the beautiful violin performance from Relative1Pitch, wonderful new vocals, and blissful guitar play, to retell the moving story. The Apple family truly would be proud.
Reverbrony – Reflections | Metal
Quite literally reflecting both the depth and the power of the Night and Luna’s feelings, this new instrumental piece from Reverbrony does an incredible job at delighting our rock spirit over a solid progression filled with awesome riffs and beautiful guitar melodies, always with a top-notch drums and bass accompaniment, to provide a blissful experience to rock out to, or to reflect to.
Dr. Somepony – Journey | Metal
It’s always so awesome to get a new release from Dr. Somepony, made through hard work and despite all the difficulties he’s facing, and this piece centered around the events of the fateful episode The Times They Are A Changeling along its meaningful and emotional cover art certainly delivers, with a Metal instrumental of much grace and emotion, expressing such events and feelings with force along the mighty guitar riffs and solos.
Soul Strings – A Contrived Sporadic (Covering ShinZm) | Progressive Metal
Inspired by the amazing intrumental work of ShinZm, Soul Strings covered A Contrived Sporadic and not only the new instrumental pays much tribute to the original, but the added vocals also pay tribute to the original theme of Twilight while focusing on the headcanon of her immortality. We certainly do need more pony Prog Metal (and Prog Rock!) so such a cover is so very welcome.
Frozen Night – Flowers In The Rain | Atmospheric Metal
Off The Ethereal Forest, this new release is another of my recent favorites, in which we witness the might of Atmospheric Metal when led by such a talented composer as Frozen Night, making the soul wander in awe along the guitars and starry piano during a progression of much sensitivity, for a finale of much force and emotion.
