You should be excited about this release. 4everfreebrony has released a remastered version of The Pink Side of The Moon album and this track is the amazing new ending where after a big adventure, Pinkie finds everything she needed in her friends Right Here. The song begins softly, building through the verse before going into an extraordinary and uplifting chorus. From there the track takes off with electric guitar, rock beat, a phenomenal solo by The L-Train, and everything but the kitchen sink from 4everfreebrony’s arsenal of top-notch music production.
Rock
Quicksilver – Night Shifts and Politics | Punk
Quicksilver is an expert in creating awesome rock tracks and this time it is based off of a very beloved episode, A Royal Problem. “Night Shifts and Politics” is Luna’s vocal narrative of wanting to make the trade back for her job as the princess of the night instead of dealing with all the daytime politics. The track has great guitar work, a driving percussive beat, and all the elements for which we love the veteran rocker!
Elias Frost – Friendship Through The Ages (covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal

Elias has another awesome Equestria Girls cover with an aggressive interpretation of Rainbow Rocks’ Friendship Through The Ages. Some interesting different types of vocals combine with his usual ones, as well as some great guitar and other instrumentation.
Quicksilver – Caught Up! | Ska Punk
Quicksilver is back and rocking just as awesomely as ever! This time he brings us a great ska punk instrumental which trades off between high-octane punk sections and more mellowed out ska progressions. After being busy with college for the last year, the Luna Ticks veteran let’s us know that he is finally getting Caught Up! One of the rare ska musicians around, Quicksilver quickly reminds us why he is one of the best songwriters with a guitar in hand!
[P@D] EM120X & SDreamExplorerS – Æthereality (feat. Daria Intoxicated) | House / Metal
Here is another exciting collaboration featured in the most recent chart topping Ponies at Dawn album, Rebirth. Æthereality combines the amazing house–style music of EM120X with the phenomenal guitar shredding of SDreamExplorerS, featuring both SDream and Daria Intoxicated as vocalists. The track immediately catches your attention with the excellent synth and drums before making the bold and creative choice to introduce dueling metal guitars.A rare mashup of styles and great performance for all, be sure to check out this amazing addition to the Rebirth album!
PrinceWhateverer – Destabilize (Ft. CGScrambles & Brittney Ackerman) | Metal
Wow! Here is an awesome metal track about Sweetie Bot of all things! Prince Whateverer puts his trademark, driving, metal sound to great use with some added vocal assistance from CGScrambles & Brittney Ackerman. Destabilize is intense throughout with an awesome breakdown which uses a mechanical-like synth to really bring a cool dynamic to the heavy track. This is another excellent PW track and well worth checking out!
[LDB] SDreamExplorerS & Velvet R. Wings – Withdrawn Tribes | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 June 2018.
SDreamExplorerS and Velvet Wings always make for an awesome combination of collaborators, with Velvet’s operatic vocals and DreamExplorer’s harsher ones combining with an epic metal instrumental to deliver a powerful tale of the windigos.
Crimes Against Sound – Lyra Heartstrings (Peggy Lee ponified) | Rock
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 3 June 2018.
This is the first music release from Korneev (that I’m aware of at least), and it’s a good one too! A fantastic parody of Johnny Guitar (a song which some may have heard from the Fallout New Vegas soundtrack) all about Lyra, it has some absolutely gorgeous hand-drawn animation as well of Lyra jamming along.
Steel Chords – Never Give Up [Re-Mastered] | Pop Punk
Digging back quite a ways, Steel Chords brings back this beautiful homage to the tireless efforts of the Cutie Mark Crusaders and their quest for cutie marks. Never Give Up is upbeat, cheery, and easy to move along to, giving off the vibe of early punk classics – much like the young CMC! Steel re-released the track to coincide with his concert appearance at this year’s St. Louis Crystal Fair where the song first premiered. In many ways this was a perfect way to reintroduce the track as the song itself has a very nostalgic feel knowing what we know now compared to when it was first written.
BroniKoni – Empty | Rock Ballad
BroniKoni is always exceptional with their work and this deeply emotional track is further proof! Empty is the inner thoughts of a lonely pony who doesn’t know if everything he sees is even real or if everything is a distorted fantasy of his own twisted mind. The track is largely driven by the piano accompaniment with the vocals which set a big stage through the use of only two instruments. The inner torment is further expressed with a guitar solo of pure languish. It’s difficult to emphasize how well written and produced this track is, and really needs to be experienced so go check it out!!!
