Among the great news of the Wonderbolts performing at BronyCon (the gig should be happening around now), they also had another surprise for us, and it is a mighty sweet and tasteful Reggae Rock cover of the emotional You’re In My Head Like a Catchy Song! Galen’s gorgeous vocals are leading a blissful instrumental where many influences collide for a result full of passion and dedication from the multi-talented pony rock band. Wonderbolts groupies unite!

Sprocket – Perchance To Dream | Alternative Rock / Blues Rock / Alternative Dance
Coming from the concept album The Princess Variations, Sprocket delivers a 6 minutes track full of emotion and commitment in the track, that I must say, it’s amazing!
The first part reminds me of Supermassive Black Hole by Muse, then Sprocket vocals are soo Blues vocals, also I can feel in the second part of the song some Blues Rock influence with the mix between the guitar riff and the keyboard sounds. Sprocket vocals are really flexible from highs look-a-like David Bowie and the vox vocals look like some really cool modern Alternative Dance band. The guitar riff is really amazing, so chill, along with the bass that is listenable are is so satisfying.
6 minutes of pure awesomeness! Listen to the track, is really amazing! Also, don’t forget to download/buy The Princess Variations on his bandcamp!
[P@D] Luna Ticks – Empathy Is For The Common Folk | Skate Punk / Pop Punk
Coming from the latest Ponies At Dawn album: Guardians, the supergroup consisted by the multi-instrumentalist Quicksilver and the iconic vocalist Francis Vace made a 2 minutes pop punk with skate punk feel track inspired by Rainbow Dash.
The mastering made on the track is amazing, also here we can see the lyrical capacity of Francis Vace and that his vocals are very iconic in this fandom. Quicksilver composition for the instrumental is also on point, the guitar riffs and the bassline plus the awesome drums are very well performed. This track reminds me of Skate Punk/Pop Punk/Melodic Hardcore acts like Sum 41, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Green Day and The Offspring.
Damn son, why you didn’t download Guardians yet? Make that now (Or if you are rich, buy it).
[P@D] Francis Vace & PegasYs – On Your Own | Alternative Rock
While seeing PegasYs’ name on a rock production might come as a surprise to some, Francis Vace is quite the guarantor for quality. And indeed, On Your Own is excellent proof that some unexpected team-ups will sometimes yield results that are very well worth some attention. Pega’s brilliant vocal work, coupled with Vace’s vast experience in composition & recording within their genre of choice, makes this track a both contemplative and energetic afternoon jam, with a guitar duet to top it off—an absolute must-hear for every fan of Starlight.
Get On Your Own as well as the rest of P@D: Guardians on bandcamp now!
Quicksilver – Malefactor | Punk Rock
The opener track of a new EP from Quicksilver dropping this weekend, Malefactor has a resolutely Punk theme conducted masterfully in a Punk Rock arrangement not lacking of Hard Rock vibes. A musical homage to Gilda’s point of view in her debut episode Griffon the Brush Off from S1, the song definitely expresses her feelings with force using the power of rock music and it is such a delight!
[LDB] Dashtortion – 15 Years (feat. Sable Symphony) | Melodic Metalcore
Coming from the hottest compilation album right now: Lycan Dese Beats 3 we have this rocking track about the fanfiction My Little Dashie done by the supergroup composed by StealingShadez and SlightlyAmiss, featuring the screaming capacity of Sable Symphony (previously MetalPony).
This track has really a Bullet From My Valentine feeling, the guitar riffs done by Slightly, the clean vocals done by Shadez and the harsh one done by Sable, everything has a BFMV feel. This is really good, I recommend if you are fan of Melodic Metalcore acts that mixes clean with harsh vocals!
Download or buy Lycan Dese Beats 3 in a bandcamp near your seat.
St. Pinkie & Meelz – See You At SEAPonyCon! (Official Theme Song) | Pop Rock
Probably the friendliest and cutest pony con anthem and invitation ever, this much welcoming song from St. Pinkie and Meelz is accompanied by an awesome video/PMV by JackDC93 and it all does a great job at conveying the very friendly spirit of the convention, and all the sweet pony feelings!

Soren Ember – Nighttime Blues | Classic Rock
We can always count on Soren Ember (formerly Obscura) to bring the most tasteful Classic Rock sounds with his songs, and this one is no exception! An ode to the Night and its blissful comfort, the track takes us into a mellow yet powerful ride through amazing vocals reflecting much talent, and a soft instrumental where drums and guitars are soothing the mind and guiding the soul. The two guitar solos in the second part are completing the experience and delivering rock music bliss, with the second solo even giving Mike Oldfield vibes, which is so wonderful to get!
[LDB] Andy Feelin – Mil Yari | Rock
Rocking Luna anthem incoming! This delightful tune by Andy Feelin from Beats Me 3 delivers the mighty power of rock music to pay tribute to the Night and to Luna! With charismatic vocals sung in Esperanto (translation in the description and the video – I recommend it, the lyrics are beautiful!), it definitely does the theme justice, with a blissful rythm led by bass guitar and drums, a tasteful guitar play, and even a wonderful keyboards solo! Long live the Night and rock music!
WorstPrincess – The Ballad Of Spaghetti Joe | Alternative Rock
Pony band WorstPrincess lives up to their apt name once again with a satyrical piece played out with a contrasting and delightful tenderness, where friendly vocals and soft acoustic guitar play are completing each other so well along a solid bass guitar accompaniment. Love your waifu, but stay open-minded and respectful!
