Your playlists have been flooded with their music for the past half a year or more. Your brain has had [Insert Pony Song here] stuck in it's internal CD player for the past week. You sometimes dig up an old favorite album, only to realize how bland it is compared to this spectacular indie music! It's time to give back, but don't expect it to not pay off in the end!
Introducing Balloon Party, the most epic music project since the Smile Charity Album that raised over twenty thousand dollars for the Children's Cancer Association. I think their explanation of the actual album pulls off the required level of awesomeness to explain it:
Aussie and I have started a project that will be giving you a chance to break your restraints. Don't worry about how pony your song is (although being clever is encouraged), don't worry about whether your song is complex or simple. Don't worry about what people will think of your track, because these questions don't matter when your song is as intense and hardcore and awesome quality as you can possibly muster. We're here to bring the blood and mud to the speakers. From death electro to heavy metal, these tracks will go as hard as an unstoppable force on an immovable object. The drops will be intense. The licks will be supreme. The riffs will pound sensationally. You get a bunch of masters of music on stage and you have to stick out. It's time to throw the Balloon Party.Yeah, needless to say, this is going to be more HARDCORE than taking on the greasiest eating contest in the south while having a quadruple bypass done on your heart.
So what exactly is it?
Almost every musician (Check out this list. No seriously, that's a lot of people) in the fandom is tossing a brand new badass track into a giant album compilation, and giving it out completely free! This isn't some "throw it together in an afternoon" deal though! The actual deadline is way out in June, so expect some ridiculously awesome stuff to pop up. .
Why are they doing this?
To invade a certain pony themed convention taking place at the end of June of course. Bronycon is about to go ALL OUT MUSIC. These guys need money though, and your donations will help them reach their goal of letting everyone attend.
They seriously already completed stuff?
Yep, check out their teaser playlist here!
Makkon actually already completed a track for the album! Check that out after the break!
Where can I go to give them ALL MY MONEY?

Well, I do like enormous amounts of pony music.
crazy levels have hit maximum
You know, I'm not sure this is the kind of stuff I'd normally listen to, but after an intro like that I feel compelled o.O
Money thrown! Commencing waiting sequence.
Time for some instrumental pony thrash metal. B)
Damnit!
Things like this make me wish I got more involved in the brony musician community.
WHERE'S THE BALLOON PARTY?
My subscription box on YT has been flooded with this awesome project over the past few days.
Totally buying the album.
I SHOULD START DOING MY ONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
<33333333333333333333333
Sweet Jesus
@Tyranoman
TOO BAD. THE ALBUM IS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE just accepting donations. c:
Schmawesome
There's one thing I wanna know. What happens if/when they raise more money than they need for making it to the BroNYcon?
@Anttoni Mömmö
IT GOES TO CHARITY
"The licks will be supreme. The riffs will pound sensationally."
Oh Seth, you...
This is going to be EPIC!!!!!
And two days after my brithday this will be unveiled? So awesome /)^3^(\
I love Makkon's work SO MUCH. If this is a taste of the awesome to come, I will happily throw money at this project. :D
I think the only possible way to make this more awesome is to have some sort of charity associated with it. I love that we bronies help others that need help most. :)
Holy Celestia this is a big project and is looking pretty awesome. Let's get this ballon party started!
If it has the possibility to topple something as epic as Powerglove's cover of "Decisive Battle", then IT. MUST. BE. FUNDED!!
But I have to save up, so expect all of my money in... March.
Just the sample makes me feel inadequate as a producer...
Waitaminnit, PinkiePieSwear's on that list... and this is all going to be heavy/hardcore type musics... This should prove most interesting ^_^
I really want to make a song now XD
Seth you derped the title where is this so called balloon part?
that's looking like one hell of an album

I can't wait to see what pony tunes the producer community comes out with next :D
Dammit.
I'm a capitalist at heart, I'd much rather pay for the album than donate an arbitrary amount.
It also makes income more predictable.
About time this got on here! All the music so far is FANTASTIC!
Makkon's new song is awesome, and seems to be but a taste of the awesome to come from this album. So many musicians both familiar and not, that I can't wait to listen to the final project.
BRONYCON! Y U SO FAR AWAY! I have to find a way to go. If Bronified can do it, so can I.
That's very awesome! I love this fandom, seriously.
@Anttoni Mömmö
Well, considering that there's like 50 musicians that'll need flights to get to NJ, many of which are flying from overseas, I don't think they'll get too much. Even raising $25,000 wouldn't be enough per artist to afford a flight across the Atlantic.
Huzzah! More where that came from
Translation: He's doing more songs.
I've been tempted to learn how to make music and I think I may just do that now.
I love this moment so much I want to marry it.
Wait ... did you say balloon?
"EHTS TWOILOIGHT SPAHRKULS BAWLOON"
The artist list should be alphabetical. That's my only regret.
Throwing my money at them right now!
I hate that I can't afford software but I have so many ideas ready to utilize.
very cool, trying to learn how to use this fl studio, in it's foreign language!
Well, collaboration is magic after all.
I seriously can't wait for this. It's going to be like the best thing ever.
Yesss Apex is on the list
SO YOU WANT A LITTLE *HARDCORE*, EH?
NO PONY LITMUS TEST, EH?
yea, imma call in some favors from my scary ghetto black rapper friends who exclusively write rhymes about empty materialism, disrespecting women, and killing cops
and show ya'll THE POWWWWWWWWWER OF THE DARK SIDE.
Wow, nopony has mentioned Knife Party yet?
This is super cool! Makes me wish I got involved in the community MUCH sooner! ;p
That looks a little too similar to the "Knife Party" logo

There's no way I can wait for this...
I THINK ZEN LIKE CALM IS PUTTING ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER, GUYS. DO YOU THINK... IT'S SOME SORT OF PONIFICATION OF KNIFE PARTY?!
BALLOON PARTY
KNIFE PARTY
... NAH JUST A COINCIDENCE
ahahaha I'm just teasing~
This is relevant to my interests.
Knife Party FTW, and before you know it, Ember Waves.
Maybe it's just because I generally take balloons entirely too seriously that the name of this music set rubs me the wrong way. :B I mean I like the *idea* but I fail to see what it has to do with balloons at all.
So ultimately it means I can't take any of it seriously, and it's going to keep popping up in my Google Search Results.
@Retl
I am sorry but you being serious about balloons to an extend that you cant take a musical album seriously, is just something I cant take serious.
HUZZAH KNEW THIS WOULD BE ON EQD XD
how can find out if i can attend this balloon party album
is EuroBeatBrony doing it too?
@Andy
Possibly! But it won't be as Eurobeat Brony and it won't be Eurobeat, if I do.
What happened to the playlist?
@milan I guess it's fine you couldn't take my response seriously. XD But the album sure did put a bump in my Google/Youtube searching for a long while.
