A gorgeous ode to Luna and the fateful events around her banishment to the moon that we are all familiar with, Banished is full of Elias’ mighty talent at strong and emotional vocals, all while carrying a powerful progression including choruses and an epic guitar solo part. Icing on the cake, the track also fittingly covers William Anderson’s Luna’s Theme from the show, that you can hear in BGMs such as Your Own Shadow from the episode Bloom and Gloom.
Rock
Reverbrony – Outlaw | Groove Metal
Reverbrony’s newest piece does fit those epic vibes from Applejack’s look in that artwork, with over 5 minutes of heavy riffs and mad drums play. The lead guitar solo near the end is the peak of the song, bringing that Outlaw legacy and amping it to the loudest!
AstralAmity – For Harmony (feat. Sable Symphony) | Indie Pop
Another track from AstralAmity’s upcoming magnum opus album, For Harmony is a beautiful collab with Sable Symphony that not only has his unique vocals adding much personality to the track, but also has electric guitars and makes for a very creative fusion of electronic, rock, and orchestral elements. The choruses in particular are very emotional for me, and with Sable’s vocals it makes it even more powerful.
[P@D] Francis Vace – Breathing Space (Covering DJT & Rusyd Rosman) | Ska Punk
The original Breathing Space from DJT and Rusyd Rosman might be a contestant for most remixed and covered song of the last few years in the community, and it’s so good to get our beloved Francis Vace‘s own spin on it! Along with delightful Ska elements as well as tasty aggressive guitar riffs to bring those Punk vibes, Francis graces the cover with his amazing vocals, bringing in much power in pure rock spirit as well as much emotion. Available as part of Ponies at Dawn Enigma!
[P@D] StealingShad3z – Red Spinach | Pop-Punk
This Green Day-inspired tune from the versatile StealingShad3z is definitely one to bang your head to! With some tight instrumentation and lyrics about the lonesome Wallflower Blush, it’s no wonder Shad3z went with this sound for the track, as the theme is absolutely perfect for it. Any fans of ’90s punk should definitely get a kick out of this one!
This track is available as part of Ponies at Dawn Enigma.
[P@D] 4EverfreeBrony – My Favorite Mystery | Indie Pop / Power Pop
Rock in Enigma had bring us amazing features and memorable songs! The opening track done by one of the greatest brony musicians of this recent years of the fandom, 4EverfreeBrony, it’s an amazing indie pop anthem with power pop influences. The mix between the acoustic with the electronic is a harmony of colours, the chorus is soo powerfull and the interesting bridge is soo on top!

MathematicPony – Alright | Pop Rock
It’s so awesome to have MathematicPony come back and pay her own tribute to the show for the occasion of this 8th anniversary! Singing about the wonderful times spent as well as about a future empowered with gold memories (and new ones to make!), our beloved musician shines once again with gorgeous and cute vocals as well as an upbeat instrumental complementing the vocals so well. This is just making me melt!
Vylet Pony – The Magic of Mischief (feat. Chi-Chi) | Pop Rock
An incredible collaboration between Vylet and Chi-Chi, the danceable groove on this song is incredible! A Discord-themed song, both vocalist’s performances (and that instrumental!) are fiery, especially a rare reach into the lower range from Chi-Chi! With plentiful references to the lord of chaos in the lyrics, a tightly-edited music video, and an impossibly catchy chorus, this is one of the standouts from Glitter, which you can purchase here!
4everfreebrony – Working On The Farm (Ponification of “Waiting In The Weeds” by The Eagles) | Soft Rock
4everfreebrony is tugging at the heartstrings again, this time from Applejack’s point of view. In a tribute to an underappreciated Eagles hit, the longtime fandom alum sings a song to AJ’s parents letting them know what is happening with their family and how she has been feeling. As usual, everything from the guitar-work to the harmonies, to the production is spot on and you can’t help but get a bit emotional listening to the hardworking farm pony tell her mom and dad they could never be replaced.Touching and with the perfect amount of slice-of-life feel, Working on the Farm is another fantastic number in 4everfreebrony’s always impressive repertoire.
Reverbrony – Viper | Groove Metal
Groovy, headbanging! The most recent track of Reverbrony is amazing! Pantera vibes coming from this song. The guitar riffs are soo on top, all the instrumentation is a sweet candy. Listen to it! You will love it! Keep them coming Reverbrony!
Also, why I think that artwork is hiding something weird? Well, the vipers really are naughty creatures…
