The Like - Wishing He Was DeadThe Like – Wishing He Was Dead

It has been a fair few years now since I last heard music from The Like or even active movement from the band so you can imagine the pleased look on my face when the band’s brand new single ‘Wishing He Was Dead’ came through my door.

‘Wishing He Was Dead’ is due for release on the 23rd August and is a proper teaser of what to expect from the bands forthcoming new album, the single is short clocking in at under 3minutes and from the go it is damn right quirky and catchy and oozes in that old skool 60’s sound and style, the song is about wishing bad things on the person who cheated on you, and what makes the song so entertaining is the fact that The Like have turned something so awful into something fun and exciting especially with hard hitting lyrics of “If I could snap that neck, that broken record trainwreck, I might feel okay”.

Mark Ronson has taken on production duties for the single and just like the fantastic results he hadshad with Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Robbie Williams he can now add The Like to that list of artists that he has helped raise the profile of as ‘Wishing He Was Dead’ is going to catapult The Like right into the UK top 40.

5/5
