Robber Robber - "How We Ball"

Burlington, VT's Robber Robber have their new album due out this Friday, but we have one last single to check out before it arrives. "How We Ball" is a chaotic post-punk meets indie rock track. It's high energy all the way through, with a disjointed sound that comes across much more fun than you typically get with a song this noisy. It's a raw track that might be the most punk and most straightforward (relatively speaking) that we've heard from Robber Robber so far. Despite being a little over three minutes long, the track feels like a much longer epic. It might just be because songs with this much energy usually only make it for two minutes or so.

Singer/guitarist Nina Cates says of the new song:

“This song is about how we have to present ourselves. It's a playful look into saying the right thing and thinking about how you come across to others. Sometimes it's so simple and sometimes you go home feeling like you said all the wrong things.”
