Meteor Street flooded indie rock’s core with nostalgic voltage in Likewise –

Guitars that sweep, jangle, and surge through electrical currents of indie rock amplification carry Likewise, the latest single from Meteor Street, with the strength of a tidal wave. Through Regina Spektor-esque powerhouse vocals and hooks that cling with the immediacy of early Y2K indie, the father-daughter duo remind listeners of the zeal once so easy to find in the genre’s golden age. The single is incandescent with nostalgia, yet carries a forward momentum that pushes indie pop rock further into the cultural zeitgeist.

There’s a richness in the basslines that nods subtly towards Motown, while the production folds in fleeting hints of 80s shimmer, giving Likewise its cohesively complex sonic architecture. The chorus ascends with addictive exhilaration underpinned by jangling riffs and rhythmic urgency that draw the listener into the song’s emotional current. Meteor Street have a way of making each instrumental texture feel alive, each hook pulled from something instinctual and fiercely melodic.

The band’s identity as a father-daughter writing team lends their sound an intimacy that filters through the grandeur. Alison Belle’s voice soars with conviction, while Aldo Riba’s instrumentation provides both anchor and lift, capturing the essence of literary rock without pretence. The duo’s evolution since their debut LP Copacetic and their forthcoming sophomore release Tell Me It’s Still Changing reflects a continued commitment to intelligent, emotionally charged rock that never sacrifices warmth for cleverness. Likewise feels like a bridge between eras, reasserting how potent indie rock can be when emotional candour meets fearless arrangement.

Likewise is now available on all major streaming platforms, including SoundCloud.
