Alamo Records' Ricky Himself has unveiled an ace satirical look at modern 'punk' culture and the image of being an outcast.

Of how the single – the excellently-titled and super-catchy I Know You Like Black Flag – came to be, Ricky says "I’m obsessed with pop culture. So I try to figure out things in pop culture that can relate to a song I’m doing, and just go from there."

He also writes on Instagram that, "I wanna say that this song has come a long way and has been through a couple iterations. This song started from a place of insecurity and feeling like I couldn’t fit into any sort of lane musically because I looked too normal, and that feeling was rooted in truth, but I found comfort in that truth and this song is me accepting that."
