New Prince Whateverer album? New Prince Whateverer album! It’s been 3 years since his debut (mini-)album, Rediscover, and after having built up a collection of single YouTube releases since then, he has recently finished Reinvent (I’m noticing a pattern here with the names). Catch the full writeup, track-by-track, of this glorious 16-track LP after the break…
Rock
Crusader! – Detective Rarity | Pop-Punk
For all of you addicts of spy movies or just fans of Rarity in all her endeavors, rejoice because Crusader’s new release is a definitely much welcomed Pop-Punk piece about the detective talents we’ve loved to see in Rarity during the events of Rarity Investigates. Bringing enjoyable musical moods very fitting for themes of detectives and spies, the track still keeps a certain MLP-ish happy vibe, making it the perfect tribute while being quite epic.
The Shake Ups in Ponyville – No Hands | Rock
The Shake Ups, deliverers of some great unashamedly pony music recently, here bring a fusion of Nirvana-style rock and Lyra’s obsession with the human form that combine surprisingly well.
Among The Herd – Est. 2010 (feat. StealingShad3Z) | Punk Metal
StealingShad3Z wonderful clean vocals mixed with Among The Herd’s crisp screams placed on top of a heavy hitting instrumental all come together to make for a super awesome punk metal anthem to the origins of the fandom. If that sounds like something you’re into, check it out!
PrinceWhateverer – So Long (feat. Wubcake & NRGPony) | Metal
Community Metal legend PrinceWhateverer astonishes the audience once again with a brand new track off the upcoming album Reinvent (that is going to be amazing), and it is certainly not failing to hit hard. Gathering the help of friends such as NRGPony (who was already featured in the awesome Taking Flight) and our beloved and ever-so-dazzling VA and singer Wubcake, So Long doesn’t fail to express the deep theme of Moondancer’s feelings as depicted in Amending Fences in a powerful rock spirit while bringing all the sick guitar riffs, heavy drums, delightful vocals all around, and emotional lyrics that you could expect from a PrinceWhateverer production of this genre. I missed the order of the physical deluxe edition of the album that was limited to 100 copies, but you can pre-order Reinvent on its Bandcamp page. The album will be dropping September 7! Yoohoo!
Crusader! – Soaring | Alt Rock
It’s been a long time coming, but Crusader! has finally reached 1,000 subscribers on YouTube, and what a well-deserved milestone it is too! Have a classic Crusader-sounding song, some pop-punk / alt rock with a hint of harmonica.
StallionSlaughter – Giggle at the Ghostly (covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal
Light and upbeat song? Check. Low tuned guitar? Check. Heavy a f breakdown? Of course! This cover of Giggle at the Ghostly may be pretty short (then again, the original is only like a minute long) but brilliantly produces as per usual with Stallionslaughter’s songs, and this one also features his family on backing vocals! The more the merrier, eh?
Acouste Wholenote – Letting Go | Alt Rock
Acouste Wholenote remains one of my favourite singer/songwriters currently active in the fandom. He has a real knack for writing lyrics and his music has a nice little 90s / 00s alt rock influence that always sits well in my books. Anyway, this song focuses on Spike’s ongoing obsession with fashion hors, and adds another song into Acouste’s repertoire (did someone say album? o.o)
Secret Metal – Faster Than A Lightning | Metal
In case you were in need of something to completely blow you away, Secret Metal has a new speed metal(? halp I don’t know metal subgenres) song! Even though I’m not heavily invested into the metal scene, I know an amazingly produced song when I hear one. Huge props to Secret Metal for this one!
Reverbrony – Evening Whispers | Soft Rock
In a change of pace from his usual bi-weekly metal songs, Reverbrony has an acoustic-sounding soft rock song for us… Well, at least it starts that way, and has a twist towards the end, and I’ll give you 3 guesses what genre it turns into 😉
