History

Like Pacific formed in 2010 in Toronto, Ontario. According to AllMusic biographer Timothy Monger, the band members "bonded over a shared love of hard-hitting melodic rock, eventually adopting the motto "stay pissed" to describe their approach."[1] The group self-released The Worst... EP in 2011, and released another, titled Homebound, the following year.[1] The band signed to independent label Pure Noise in December 2014, and released a self-titled EP in January 2015.[2] In July and August, the band supported Forever Came Calling on their tour of the U.S.[3]

In December 2015, "Worthless Case" was made available for streaming.[4] In January 2016, a music video was released for "Distant". The band's debut album, Distant Like You Asked, was released in February through Pure Noise,[5] and charted at number 25 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart.[6] In February and March, the band supported State Champs on their tour of the U.S.[7] The band toured as part of the 2016 edition of Warped Tour.[8] In May 2017, the band will perform at Slam Dunk Festival in the UK.[9] Around the festival, the band will support Trophy Eyes on some of their headlining UK shows.[10]
