"On My Own" Single Review
The track blasts right in with a Punk sound that grabs the listener right away with its speedy riffs. The first verse dashes forward full speed ahead as it blazes a trail of that old school Punk flair. The chorus slows things down a bit around the one minute mark and adds a dash of aggression. The track picks back up its energy for the second verse. Around the two and a half minute mark, the bridge goes all out with the instrumentation until it creeps closer to the three minute mark. The last minute features the chorus and that driving instrumentation that helps solidify the track as a certified Punk banger.

Verdict:
Pinky's Brains brings the Punk energy and flair with their new single.
