They were written up as &#8220;a band to keep an eye out for&#8221; very early on, their music was singled out for its honesty and integrity, and the band praised for their social awareness, calls for self-improvement and powerhouse live performances. Now, the band have announced their follow-up album,\u00a0&#8216;Wasted Energy&#8217;, along with new single\u00a0<em>Thinking About You<\/em>.

On new single\u00a0<em>Thinking About You<\/em>, amongst the climactic clatter of the band giving it everything, is Foster recounting her experience with a stalker. Never one to shy away from what is uncomfortable, the song embodies a freak\u2019s tongue, cooing unbridled down the phone line; abrupt, uninvited, and out of the blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/PressClub-WastedEnergy_FINALlo-9900000000079e3c.jpg?resize=267%2C267\" alt=\"Press Club Wasted Energy cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-31677\" width=\"267\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/PressClub-WastedEnergy_FINALlo-9900000000079e3c.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/PressClub-WastedEnergy_FINALlo-9900000000079e3c.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/PressClub-WastedEnergy_FINALlo-9900000000079e3c.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/PressClub-WastedEnergy_FINALlo-9900000000079e3c.jpg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to\u00a0&#8216;Late Teens&#8217;, lyrically,\u00a0&#8216;Wasted Energy&#8217;\u00a0approaches the microphone through a lens of extrospection.
