Tenuously beloved punk and EMMY-nominated Craig of the Creek songwriter Jeff Rosenstock is back today with “LIKED U BETTER,” his first new single since 2020’s critically acclaimed NO DREAM (unless you count 2021’s SKA DREAM, his ska re-interpretation of the album, or quarantine collection 2020 DUMP, both of which absolutely ruled). 

The track was recorded in the summer of 2022, in Los Angeles during a break in the band’s rigorous touring schedule and Jeff’s daily gig as a composer for Craig of the Creek. The band tracked at EastWest Studios (The Bodyguard Soundtrack, Californication) with longtime collaborator and Grammy nominee Jack Shirley (Shit Coffins, Jeff Rosenstock). The video was filmed by Ryan Baxley and Mind Palace about a month ago, based on Rosenstock’s one-sentence idea for “a muppet who is a bad roommate.” Watch below.

To celebrate the big bop, Death Rosenstock has decided it’s time to once again announce a big ol’ fall/winter North American tour in some modestly sized venues with support from Sidney Gish, Gladie, and Small Crush. Tickets go onsale May 25 @ 10AM local.
