Ponified The Strokes? Ponified The Strokes! The thing that impresses me the most about this is how closely it resembles the original Reptilia. From the guitar tone to the vocal performance (and the touch of overdrive), it just FEELS like a Strokes song! And of course 4everfree’s talent for lyrics shines through in this song, and how he manages to bring the story behind to life in a new light.

[P@D] Replacer & P1K – Sky Blues | Blues Rock
Coming from the newest P@D album, Rebirth, here we have a 6-minute track featuring the amazing talents of Replacer and P1K. Both being old schoolers in the fandom music scene, both playing an amazing blues rock track, full of cool guitar riffs and amazing drumming work! P1K’s vocals are really on point and the sweet and almost robotic vocals of Replacer melted my heart like the amazing guitar riffs that are featured in here. An incredible track, incredible artists, an incredible album! I loved this track sooo much!
Download Rebirth at P@D’s bandcamp that you won’t regret it! If you are rich, buy it for supporting the artists!
BroniKoni – Friendship Express | Pop Rock
An amazing track, full of happiness and good feelings! BroniKoni releases their debut album Friendship Express and by celebrating that, they release the title track from it! The mix of instruments is amazing, the pianos, the guitars, the flutes, the vocals, the basses! Then that guitar solo melts my heart, and the chorus is really funny and cute! Buy Friendship Express at BroniKoni’s bandcamp! Keep up the good work everyone, you did an awesome job!
[P@D] Thrasher – A Hero’s Ascension | Trance Metal / Synthwave
A mix of modern and retro, featured in the most recent Ponies at Dawn compilation, Rebirth. Thrasher makes a kinda cinematic/retro trance metal track with Metalcore and Industrial/Cyber Metal influences that promises to make you dance and headbang at the same time! A mix of aggressive with chill, Metal with Synthpop. A truly experimentatal world in there. Listen to it!
Don’t forget to download Rebirth on P@D’s bandcamp, they are waiting for you. I’m downloading right now, you should also do it! If you are rich, buy the album, it only helps the artists!
Ponysphere & Secret Metal – She’s all mine | Hard Rock
Warning: Some swearing and implied violence in this track!
Taking influence from early, violent fanfics, She’s All Mine is a great piece of hard rock fan music. Achieving a very classic rock sound via the late 70s and early 80s, Ponysphere provides the instrumentation that drives the track in combination with Secret Metal’s vocals that bring it home. Add in a solid percussive beat and some old-school guitar solos and you’ve got well executed, rare, hard rock gem!
Ponies At Dawn – Rebirth | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre
Listening to the live album release stream for Rebirth, the thing that strikes me most is how brony musicians are always able to make such diverse songs, and to such a high level of production. From the (admittedly majority) range of electronic styles to the big rock and metal songs, to a full range of acoustic and orchestral tracks, there are constant surprises in store.
We’ll be featuring plenty of songs from the album as they’re released on YouTube by the respective artists or the P@D YouTube channel over the coming weeks. Until then, the album is available to download for any given price on Ponies At Dawn’s bandcamp page.
AndNoOneDriving – In The Magical Land | Rock
The landscape begins rushing by seemingly never-ending and full of vistas each more epic than the last. In the Magical Land takes you on a grand journey through the fantastical land of Equestria by gently inviting your gaze toward a simple landscape, gradually guiding you into increasingly epic sights and experiences, and finally allowing you to settle down in a peaceful field to take it all in. This piece by AndNoOneDriving is a wonderful musical portrait that may even enhance one’s personal image of just how beautiful Equestria could be. If you enjoyed this song be sure to check out more of AndNoOneDrving’s incredibly inspired music such as For Queen Chrysalis.
Edit: The song appears to have been deleted from the channel for unknown reasons, so in the meantime you can listen to it from here.
FlutterRage – The Magic Inside (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal
Well here’s a remix I didn’t know I needed. FlutterRage combines the soothing beauty we know and love in The Magic Inside with some thrashing metal accompaniments. Adding heavy guitar chords and a sweet percussive beat to the original vocals actually mixes very well and brings a lot of energy to the track. Combining these elements with a souped up piano part makes this is a fun take on a classic show song!
PrinceWhateverer & Jyc Row (feat. Sable Symphony & MantaTsubasa) – Open Up Your Eyes (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal
The dynamic duo of Prince Whateverer and Sable Symphony teamed up with some other big talent in Jyc Row and MantaTsubasa to bring a face-meltingly epic metal cover of Tempest’s movie anthem. Using Jyc Row’s expert orchestration and Whateverer’s always excellent vocals combined with Sable’s complimentary harmonies, this cover brings a lot of energy and drive to the villain song we all love. Singing a solo during the interlude, MantaTsubasa adds an extra layer of dimension to the cover track with her extremely well-executed, hauntingly near-insane vocals.
Luck Rock – You Are a Princess | Alternative Rock
New release by Luck Rock, and you know what that means! Alt Rock pony time! This time focusing on Twilight’s character depth, Luck made a wonderful tribute with more focus on vocals and keyboards, and the lovely vocals as well as the very “Twilight” melodies and sounds all do wonders to bring a very cute and warm experience for the ears as well as the soul!
