Rock
Przewalski’s Ponies – Snowdrop | Art Pop
The Russian group Przewalski’s Ponies have a new song about Snowdrop. Gentle, well-paced, and delightfully atmospheric, it’s very relaxing. A poignant mix of simple electronics and strings permeate throughout the song, and Andy Feelin’s vocals are expertly sung.
BroniKoni – Keep The Beat Alive (2018 Version) | Synth Rock
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 31 December 2017.
2013 was a long time ago, so it’s awesome to see a complete re-work of BroniKoni’s big hit from back then, Keep The Beat Alive, for their upcoming 2018 album. Complete with a pretty awesome video that shows like a big Vinyl Scratch concert, the vocals are top notch with some fantastic choruses. The instrumental also is excellently produced, with a great mix of rock and synth vibes.
PrinceWhateverer – Conviction (ft. Sable Symphony) | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 28 December 2017.
A nice way to help end the last couple of days of the year with a bang, we have a new song from Prince! Featuring a fair bit of synth influence, this track nonetheless has some pretty awesome metal riffs throughout and the vocals are top notch. It tells a pretty great story of Tempest Shadow, so check it out!
4everfreebrony – Little Show (Real World Ponified) | Alternative Rock
In a lively re-imagining of Matchbox 20’s Real World, 4everfreebrony questions what it would be like to work on the show in real life. This track works beautifully as both a tribute to a well-known song and band as well as a tribute to all of the staff that works so hard to produce a cartoon and culture that we all love. Utilizing his own style a bit in this ponification of the original track, it is easy to feel 4everfreebrony’s appreciation to everyone involved with MLP:FiM!
Sable Symphony – Rise of the Storm King (ft. PrinceWhateverer, Osoch, & RockinBrony) | Power Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 31 December 2017.
Definitely one of Sable’s most ambitious projects yet, this heavy power metal track tells the story of the MLP movie in an awesome way, with some great vocals and heavy guitars. It’s also all about those epic solos, featuring 3 different guitar solos from 3 different metal artists too. It’s a pretty epic time, so make sure to check it out!
Elias Frost – Flawless (covering Daniel Ingram) | Rock

It was just a matter of time until Elias tackled covering this song, and he’s done it pretty well, as always. With more of a rock slant than usual, his vocals are great, and the mixture of more energetic upbeat sections and some slower parts works well. Check it out for some good fun!
Luck Rock – One Day | Pop Punk / Power Pop
What a powerful song, Changelings need love too! Luck Rock did an awesome punk / power pop anthem, with really catchy lyrics and really awesome guitar riffs and with amazing drumming! The vocals are on point, one of the things that I love from Luck Rock is the vocal harmonies. The lyrics are really deep and I love how it describes the feeling of the Changelings, demanding that they are good and that they demand more love! Good job Luck, keep up the good work!
Rockin’Brony – Kindness (covering AcoustiMandoBrony) | Rock
Rockin’Brony brings us a cover from one of the most iconic Fluttershy songs that has ever been written. As a huge Fluttershy fan myself, this pleases me A LOT. I always enjoy covers from people, but this one really hits home in full honesty. I mean, it definitely hits the nostalgia and I once more feel the power behind this track. The reason why I’m still so proud to be a Brony and support this super happy and creative fandom is helping so many people and doing beautiful things together. Its truly magnificent. It shows that there’s nothing wrong in being proud of what you believe and that kindness is worth fighting, believing, standing up, and dying for. So regardless if you repeat it a lot or you make a lot of songs regarding that, its never wrong to stand up for kindness. So just let them talk, You and I both know that as long as they don’t deliver on what they talk, you can call bullshit. and smash the stereotype. ^^ And as someone that was heavily inspired by this track and is also proud to say he’s a huge fan of Fluttershy, I can definitely speak for her when I say she’s proud of you Rockin, I’m sure of it. 😉 Everybody, show some love man! ❤ Keep it up! one love rock! ❤
Yay! ❤
SayMaxWell – Part of the Swarm (feat. FritzyBeat & ForeverFreest) (The Remixes) | Multi-Genre
The original Part of the Swarm sure was a memorable event, and another great surprise is that it got remixed by a lot of familiar musicians! Above is a playlist of all the remixes. I think my favorite remix is GatoPaint’s, it feels just so freaking epic, as always with GatoPaint’s music and vocals! (Try to listen to the most epic parts in the track while looking at this animation… doesn’t it feel amazing?) And my second favorite would probably be Lin Stilson’s, I thought it was so creative with those chops and that progression! I hope that you can find some favorites in the bunch too, and that you enjoy the remixes like I did!
