The W Likes

Formed by shores of lake Mjøsa, Norway in 2010, The W Likes may have taken a while to get going, but now that they are moving there’s no stopping them. After years of lineup changes, demos and intermittent festival appearances, it was in 2016 that the band really got the ball rolling. With a rejuvenated lineup they recorded their eponymous debut album. By mid 2017 it was released on Ramah Records and a few months later they had a vinyl edition in their hands. Their sound, which fuses Clutch and Sepultura by way of Megadeth and Motorpsycho, had finally started to come together.

By sheer luck, a copy of The W Likes made its way into the hands of a certain Mr. Todd Severin, the boss of Ripple Music, who asked the band to contribute to Chapter 10 of their split series, The Second Coming of Heavy. They eagerly agreed, and suddenly the band were off to the races. They doubled down on songwriting and are now preparing for the 2019 release of what promises to be an absolutely monster of a split.

With international acclaim at their backs and the world ahead of them, The W Likes are moving forward one mammoth riff at a time, the band have proven that perseverance through any adversity pays off. They have proven that 70s rock and Sepultura worship can in fact come together to make something great. Most of all they have proven that they have what it takes to be Norway’s next great rock and roll revolutionaries.
