Release Me

For those with a love for catchy early ‘60s pop melodies with biting lyrics, here are The Like! Produced by Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Robbie Williams) with additional production by Thomas Brenneck and Homer Steinweiss (of The Dap Kings), and Alex Greenwald (Phantom Planet), Release Me crackles with girlgroup sass and sincere desperation. Tracks like “He’s Not A Boy,” and “Don't Make a Sound” somehow find the place where the edge of the Animals and the heartbreak of the Shangri-Las meet and are infused with an edgy, clear-eyed romanticism that are irresistible. Their first single ‘He’s Not A Boy’ is Mark Ronson produced sixties-inspired pop gem from the Californian girl rockers is fun and fanciful and has a mod-tastic video. In 2005, they released Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking, and toured worldwide in support of the album, playing Coachella, the Wireless Festival, and opening for bands such as Muse, the Arctic Monkeys and Kings of Leon.
