He's Not A Boy

The Like

Downtown/Polydor

WE SAY

LA band The Like's next album Release Me (produced by Mark Ronson) will be out later in the year on Polydor in the UK - stateside they're part of the impressive roster on Downtown Records. He's Not A Boy is the first single proper with Fair Game available as a free taste from their website (video). Ronson's hand in reviving classic-sounding pop production evident to hear (here it's British pop bands and US girl groups of the 60's), and a fine job he's done. Plenty of press is lined up on their forthcoming UK trip, including a radio session with Dermot O' Leary at BBC Radio 2. The video for this has already been added to NME TV with The Box spot plays and an NME.com web exclusive next week. UK dates coming up start with Club NME and include spots at Camden Crawl and a Puregroove instore. (JF) London Gig: April 30, Club NME at Koko NW1
