Illinois punk outfit Harrison Gordon dives headfirst into insecurity, self-criticism, and the complicated ways we project our own struggles onto others with their latest single, “Like Me Less.” Released through Hopeless Records, the emotionally charged track serves as another glimpse into the band’s upcoming album BLISS, arriving September 4.

“Like Me Less” captures the messy reality of battling your own thoughts while trying to maintain relationships around you. Rather than hiding behind polished perfection, Harrison Gordon embraces the uncomfortable moments ,the frustration, the guilt, and the feeling of not fully recognizing yourself. The result is a raw and explosive punk anthem that turns personal turmoil into something listeners can scream along to.
Musically, the track balances the urgency of classic punk with the emotional honesty of modern emo. Gritty guitars, driving energy, and an unforgettable vocal delivery create a song that feels chaotic yet carefully intentional. Harrison Gordon’s ability to transform heavy emotional themes into a communal release is what makes “Like Me Less” hit so hard; it’s deeply personal while still feeling universal.
“’Like Me Less’ is about having issues with yourself, and projecting those problems on to other people. ‘Whatever black mold breeding and spreading over your soul needs to stay dormant and unaddressed if you hope to keep anyone around.’ It was written about how it felt to go through a depressive episode while living with another person who was operating completely fine, ‘No one knows me, I barely know me, and that’s the way it oughta be’”
