Billboard Style's eponymous debut single was love at first sound for us, so we're eager to hear what else the band has on deck. Today, the partnership of Ben Guterl (Forth Wanderers) and Dan Howard (Victoryland) is back with a second single from their debut album Pull Of The Moon. "Meloxicam" is a two-minute delight inspired by Guterl's formerly long-distance romance. "Do you dream at night? What's your favorite snack?" he sings. "Do you feel like dying when the clocks turn back?" This one shimmers with the best of them, and

“My girlfriend and I were long distance for 4 years. We stayed together and I missed her terribly. There’s times while you’re apart for that long when you really ask yourself why you’re putting up with the misery of it all and I wrote this during one of those times. The song came out of the misery but I think I was also in awe of love’s capacity to both cause pain and provide you with the strength to endure it. I used a listicle about what questions you should ask someone on a first date for a lot of those lines.

Guterl and Howard made the DIY "Meloxicam" video with Maggie Musante and Emma Ingrid Bartley. Watch below.
