The Ziembas never sound like just two people:they play tight power-pop as if they had an extra person or two. In fact, theysound closer to The Spinanes than toThe White Stripes, and closer stillto twice-their-size groups like Weezeror Fountains of Wayne.

The Like Young is a bandthat will have even your punk rock friends asking, ‘Who's this?' in a tone ofgenuine curiosity.

The songs are played with go-for-broke ferocity: Joe tears at thesyllables, Amanda crushes the beats, and yet the melodies never melt despitethe heated environs. The songs are as sturdy and resilient as the characters inZiemba's narratives. Hanging on for dear life as the world blitzes past intwo-minute bursts.

Despite being just a guitar and drums duo, Joe and Amanda Ziemba, thehusband and wife team know as The LikeYoung, have infused their third full length with the energy, edginess andadrenaline of a live performance.  Theresult is the raucous Last Secrets, ascrappy little disc busting with fun.

Perfect, immutable proof of the shared, secret world of two people.

For those looking to expand their power-pop libraries, [Like Secrets] is an excellent record to consider picking up.
