The Ponytones – I Want to Hold Your Hoof | Classic Rock

The Ponytones is a collaboration of pony music lovers to ponify famous and classic songs. I’ve got a vested interest in the project from the get-go, as I’m good friends with one of the contributors. But even if you’ve never heard of any of these people, their first song will get you interested in the rest of the rest of their respective works.

It’s a truly stellar parody of Beatles classic “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” With genius lyrics, amazing vocals and vocal editing, beautiful instrumentation, this is simultaneously a very fresh and a very nostalgic piece. The mixdown is raw, bleeding, and perfectly oldschool. Rock isn’t my thing, but I Want to Hold Your Hoof has seized a position in my heart alongside my favorite songs of my favorite genres. What a song!

[P@D] Flittzy – You And I | Alternative Dance / Alternative Pop

Another great track from the newest and awesome P@D album: Guardians. Flittzy bring us a great tune reminding me of 90’s music acts such as Primal Scream. This tune, which talks about the relation between Twilight and Princess Luna, has everything for becoming the best song on this great album full of surprises! First the vocals are well performed, Flittzy does an awesome job singing and we already know that! Second is the writing capacity of Flittzy, those lyrics were really cool, awesome and with some really meaningful messages. Third is the mixing and instrumentation, the instrumental is very good and the mix between the guitars and the drum machine was pretty awesome, don’t forget the mix between the instrumental and the vocals that was pretty kickass also!

[P@D] Silver Note – Shatter | Alternative Rock / Progressive Rock

Other amazing track from the latest and hottest album from P@D: Guardians! Silver Note is one of that artists from this fandom that gets me vibes from other artists that I love! First Silver gave me Radiohead vibes on Stars and now for P@D, Silver gave me and probably everyone, Muse vibes! Shatter is a great tune reminding me of the old-school Muse albums such as Showbiz, The Origin of Symmetry and Absolution. The vocals, the guitar, the drums, the mixing quality, the lyrics, everything! Silver made this song with passion and with a theme that every brony loves! The battle between Tirek and Twilight!

Don’t forget to download or buy the whole album from P@D, Guardians! Last chance! Will you bow?

Donn DeVore – Winsome Falls | Alternative Rock

One of my favorite releases of this month because of the pony feelings inside it, this new tune by Donn DeVore was inspired by his own feelings toward Rainbow Dash as he went camping with her in real life… Partaking in sweet and blissful moments with her among Nature, he wanted to convey those feelings in a song, to further express his love, and to share it with the world! This cute and amazing Alt Rock gem is the result, with lyrics filled with love and the happiness of shared moments with ponies, beautiful and passionate vocals, and a wonderful instrumental complementing it all with both acoustic and electric guitars and delightful Alt Rock drums. As a bonus, the title of the song is referencing the place introduced in S03E06 Sleepless in Ponyville, when they went camping!

Reverbrony hasn’t lost his touch, and delivers a massive progressive concentrate of Symphonic Metal epicness, extra heavy! Encompassing the theme of epic battles, Among the Brave does an amazing job at representing that side of the show, with violins, guitars, and drums all contributing to create this masterpiece of sound!

OBSCURA – Changing | Alternative Rock

A very promising pony musician, Obscura releases a much important and meaningful piece, since it took a lot of time and is also the first time that the musician has recorded his own instruments live! With a message reflecting Thorax’s story and the fate of changelings in general, the soft and genuine Alt Rock song brings beautiful vocals along a nice instrumental not lacking of awesome guitar solos!

Thrasher is gracing us with a P@D submission once again, and his skill at Metalcore shines bright in this Guardians track, with sick guitar riffs being complemented by enthralling synth melodies, in a hard-hitting progression that delivers musical bliss like a firework.
