The Like are featured in Alternative Press' '100 Bands You Need to Know in 2005'

LOS ANGELES (Geffen Records/ www.ilikethelike.com) - Not long after forming on the sunny side of a corrupt city back in 2001, The Like-bassist Charlotte Froom, drummer Tennessee Thomas and singer/guitarist Z Berg-soon became adopted into the L.A. music scene by some of the city's brightest minds of modern pop, like Phantom Planet and Rooney. Although mere teenagers, the band have already self-released three EPs and plan to deliver their debut full-length on Geffen later this year.
"[Our music} sounds pretty, but it's sadder than you think," explains Berg. "L.A. is haunted with the ghosts of its past, while at the same time, filled with a nostalgia for a golden age that may or may not have ever existed. Our music is like that, too: haunted with nostalgia for moments that were never as meaningful and beautiful as they seem in retrospect." (LS)
