Like Pacific Release New Single & Video “Ketamine Jesus”

Storming across international borders, Toronto’s Like Pacific trade in a hard-charged blend of pop-punk, melodic rock and hardcore that shatters every stereotype of Canada’s politeness and civility. Like Pacific make impassioned, sweat-soaked music isn’t all that surprising given their influences, filtering the muscular torchbearers of Tumblr-era underground icons like The Story So Far and Title Fight through the lens of modern production. But it’s just not simply anger for anger’s sake, at least not anymore. The band have now revealed their new single & video, Ketamine Jesus, and have also released a stream of another new track, Love Them And Leave Them.

“Going into this record we knew we wanted to play with our sound a bit and continue to have fun playing music. This record was stressful. Covid happened at the beginning of recording/pre-production. Not everyone could be in the same room so, collaboratively we wrote songs over video chat and iPhone demos. Which knowing me, I have terrible ADHD so it was very hard for me. In the last two years I’ve been going through the worst depression I’ve ever experienced. This was very helpful for me and the band as a whole. Looking forward to people emotionally connecting to this record. Our best yet.” (singer Jordan Black)

Like Pacific’s new album, Control My Sanity, will be released on the 3rd December via Pure Noise Records, you can stream Ketamine Jesus and Love Them And Leave Them and pre-order Control My Sanity here.
