Having heard one Dial Drive album prior to getting the chance to preview this track I was on-board right away.  That album (which was from 2018) was called Viva Le’Jit and was a dedication album for their former bass player Brian Fenley who had passed away.   Those were some good songs full of much youthful energy and a bit of angst.  “Big Mistake” was my favorite and you can give it a listen here if you have a spare three minutes:

I have to say that right as “On My Own” lit off I had a bit of a “Clash City Rockers” moment.  It is a faster riff but has that same kind of “pay attention” effect and energy.  This track though is not content to stay in that lane although it certainly has enough buzzy bass and frantic drumming to make anyone happy.  This song instead mixes in some brief & well placed shouting along with a pretty cool down-tempo bridge.   I have heard that these guys bring much energy to their live shows also so that is on my list for sure.  

The full album (on SBAM Records) is due out sometime later this year. 

Musicians on this are: Jake LeDrew (vocals), Nathan Durazzo (guitar, vocals), AJ Ferrera (bass) and Billy Morrissey (drums)

Check it out on your favorite streaming channel (link below) – and let me know your thoughts about it – music makes for good conversation 🙂

And if you have the inclination …think about purchasing it if you can as steaming music does not pay well even times a thousand.
