Sometimes we all need a reminder that as hard as being alone can be, it can actually be kind of necessary. PONY rejoices in independence on "Alone Tonight," a buzzy statement reflecting on learning your worth and knowing when it's better to be "Alone Tonight." It's the other side to their previously announced Buzz Records release out May 12 and channels that same youthful energy and adorable pop punk spirit. Vocalist Sam Bielanski wears unmistaken charisma, her honeyed vocals tinged with fuzz and courage declaring that "you can't make all the rules/you can't play me like a fool." It's exactly what you need to embolden your heart with ferocity before heading into summer.
