Gang Box - "It Has Wings"

Brooklyn’s newest trio, Gang Box, shared their debut single, “It Has Wings,” earlier this month and I was immediately impressed by their creative fearlessness and lack of self-imposed boundaries. The song runs the gamut in terms of style and influences, starting out with a brash and thunderous intro that’s fueled by propulsive cymbal crashes, some spit-fire verses, and fuzzy guitars. This influx of energy eventually gives way to a big tempo change, as the song settles into some softer tones for a more stripped down outro. These sonic shifts mirror the emotions of fear, anger, and surrender in the lyrics, which chronicle having to confront a huge cockroach in your apartment all by yourself after a rough breakup. 

The band also recently shared a video for the song that brings this nightmarish scenario to life! Stream it below!
