Flasher came up in the Washington, DC punk scene, and Taylor Mulitz, one-third of the band, used to play bass in the great DC punk band Priests. But Flasher aren’t a punk band, exactly. Instead, they play wiry, nervy rock music that draws from post-punk and new wave and indie-pop as much as punk, taking direct aim at big social institutions while still sounding breathlessly fun on the surface.

The first two songs we’ve heard from their upcoming debut full-length Constant Image, “Skim Milk” and “Pressure,” both ended up at the top of our 5 Best Songs Of The Week lists when they came out. Now they’ve shared another, and it’s easily just as good.

“Who’s Got Time?” is on the poppier, more energetic side of their sound, fired-up rocker that’s about “the twilight of a relationship,” according to the band. “When things have soured but you’re not quite ready to jump ship despite your better judgment. It’s a celebration of disappointment and failure.” Listen and check out some newly announced tour dates below.
