The band and its songs have matured &#8211; gaining focus and reflection out of the chaos of their first release without losing any of the raw energy and poetic lyricism that set them apart from other Brooklyn bands of the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The track is a bit of a slow burn at first, leaning on groove as the story of the song boils underneath. Sarah Wood (lead single, guitars) asks <em>&#8220;Am I still earning your love?

The band &#8211; now with Sal Garro and Jonathan Pilkington Kahnt holding down the drums and bass duties &#8211; has matured, and the songs are maybe a little more serious, maybe a little more reflective, but no less cutting and catchy.
