LIKED U BETTER

Release Date: May 23, 2023

Includes instant MP3 and WAV download.

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).

“LIKED U BETTER” was recorded in the summer of 2022, in Los Angeles during a break in the band’s rigorous touring schedule and Rosenstock’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).

Reviews

  • "...an adrenaline-fueled pop-punk ripper dedicated to anybody who just refuses to be forgotten, despite all your futile attempts to exile them from your memory. Whether that persona non grata is an ex-partner, a disagreeable coworker, or a less-than-ideal roommate, Rosenstock’s singalong chorus acts as a vehicle for taking out all that aggression."

    - Conequence of Sound on "LIKED U BETTER"
  • “['LIKED U BETTER'] packs all that is great about Rosenstock's music, big hooks, gang vocals, and a wild celebratory energy, into a little over three minutes of the punk singer trying to outrun a preoccupation that is starting to feel like an addiction.”

    - The FADER
  • "…['LIKED U BETTER' is] as blistering as it is catchy. Racing thoughts and a palpitating heartbeat set the song’s antic tempo, before he shrugs them all off in a cathartic refrain."
