Formed in 2001 when the members of the band were still in their teens, Los Angeles' the Like were known at first for consisting of offspring of well-known members of the music industry. The indie rock trio worked to make its own way, though, and three EPs were independently released prior to the Like landing a contract with Geffen. Fresh out of high school, the Like toured while writing and recording material for their debut album, 2005's Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? After that, the band went through some changes, losing and gaining members, switching labels (Geffen to Downtown), and ditching its initial look for a mod makeover. The band's second album, Release Me, was released in 2010. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
