"Maressey is a group project run by Freewave and is a ponified tribute to the music of The Smiths. It's a return to the roots of british indie pop and rock with close to 20 musicians taking part in transforming a multitude classic songs about loneliness, love, depression, sex, and controversial topics into songs about your favorite ponies and our community. Many songs will connect with each other and tell the story of these characters, several shippings, and show off this alt-universe (fimfic style) song by song.  Are ponies lives that different from our own?"

Notable track: "How Soon is Now?"

Definitely deserving more attention than he gets, Warbalist produces quality rock, metal, acoustic and pretty much every other music type that features his amazing guitar skills. Not only that; he also ventures into ambient and electronic music (and sings, too)! So much variety! It's also worth mentioning that his wife is also a very talented artist. She has an amazing and powerful voice, which was featured in one of his covers, and at the same time - in my opinion - best song. Warbalist is also fond of collaborations in a many genre, not so long ago working with me (Matthew N.) on quite possibly my best song up to date. Don't think that I am any biased by this - just give him a listen and I bet you won't regret it!

Notable track: Vicious Lies (Symphonic Metal Cover)
