The Like Young was an American indie rock band from Chicago, Illinois, composed of Amanda and Joe Ziemba.
In the spring of 2003, they released their first full-length album, Art Contest, on Parasol Records to generally positive reviews.
Tim Sendra of Allmusic wrote that "Art Contest was a slab of formulaic punk-pop bereft of inspiration and hooks...So Serious makes no radical changes but is about 100 percent better and less cute, more real.
On August 27, 2006, the Like Young announced their retirement citing the need to move on and make smart decisions.
Joe soon returned to music and released Love at 30 in 2008 as Beaujolais; this record addresses the end of the Ziembas' marriage.
