Quicksilver – Problems (Fluttershy Has a Chainsaw) | Punk Rock
Quicksilver has definitely become one of my favourite non-electronic artists in the fandom, and even in a relatively short track such as this one he shows why with some really energetic vocals, and an instrumental to match. I’m not the biggest fan of the subject matter, but can definitely still groove along to this one regardless.
Lycan Dese Beats – Season 2 Episode 20
As LDB brings you the latest and greatest songs of the fandom, we have “Pony Bands” in our theme this week including The Shake Ups in Ponyville, AcoustiMandoBrony, and The Wonderbolts. In the new music part of the show, we spotlight some drum and bass with Protocat, an interesting song about socks with the Luna Ticks and a Tubby Wubby Pony Waifu cover by Crusader!

[KM] Acouste Wholenote – Greater Things | Pop-Rock
Another absolute gem from the King Mars Tribute Album, this time in the form of a pop-rock song about Applebloom. Upbeat rhythm – check. Great lyrics with a memorable title line – check. Guitar solo – check. More 90s vibes than Friends re-runs, check! A great song by all means.
Luna Ticks – Socks | Punk Rock
May you be a socks enthusiast or not, it’s always good to be open-minded and tolerate what others like especially in a community like ours, that is the serious message that we can take from this not-so-serious yet awesome new release from pony band Luna Ticks. “Finally a fandom song about socks” I heard someplace, “This is absurd. I love it.” someplace else, for me this is a very enjoyable Punk Rock piece from skilled and based pony rock musicians which has a distinctive charm and additional layer of appreciation thanks to the choice of freely expressing a message about a theme that many of us can relate to inside the community, and that pertains to our liking for certain art and concept that emanate from our very community. Have fun, enjoy and respect, that should be one of our mottos!
Ponysphere & Friends – The Land Of Harmony Part 1: Through the Frost And Ice | Metal
Brace yourselves everypony, masterpiece ahoy! Here we’ve got a quite stunning Progressive/Symphonic/Folk metal beauty from Ponysphere, putting a beautiful and passionate vision to reality with the help of the amazing BriLizy T providing utterly gorgeous vocals, Shurrikane‘s orchestral talents, DivinumX rocking a guest solo, and Secret Metal helping with mixing and mastering. The 8-minutes song has got everything to stand as a timeless gem, from the delightful progression to the masterful instrumentations of both heavy parts empowered by powerful vocals and soft parts sublimated by choruses and piano play. As for the cover art by Flarescale, it completes the whole and adds to the “concept” feel while reminding of cover arts from Folk Metal bands such as Korpiklaani (or from some Prog Rock bands of old).
Crusader! – We Made It! | Pop-Punk
Debuted recently at Trotcon, Crusader’s new song is a homage to the CMC, their quest to find their cutie marks, and what lies ahead for them. An anthem by any means, and a very fitting tribute to a standout episode of season 5!
