Brooklyn alt-rock four-piece Sorry Darling, featuring Liz Wagner Biro (vocals/guitar), Steve Bailey (vocals/guitar), Jackie Land (bass), and Dan Holodak (drums)—was born in 2022 out of a shared obsession with big guitars and massive, singalong hooks. The band originally grew from the songwriting union of Wagner Biro (Wild Yawp, The Significant Looks, Blaze Pascal) and Bailey (The Sharp Shadows), who bonded over the gritty swagger of The Libertines and the lush, wistful pop of HAIM.
With the addition of Land (a reformed San Francisco metalhead) on bass and Seattle transplant Holodak on drums, the lineup clicked immediately. Drawing inspiration from powerhouse acts like The Pretenders, The Cranberries, The Beths, and Beach Bunny, Sorry Darling strikes a sweet spot between classic power-pop and modern alt-rock, fueled by infectious guitar leads and deeply relatable lyricism.
"Like You" tackles the way a relationship can erode someone's sense of self and capability. Its accompanying music video follows a pageant queen who places second and wakes up questioning the life she's built.
It's an energetic, deep and intense song, amazingly performed by the band with a perfect production for the genre. Check out the super catchy chorus and the very inspired guitar solo at the end of the song. The single is the second offering from their upcoming EP Mirrors. Give the video a go (very well made as well) and follow the band if you like what you hear.
