“You can’t always be liked,” singer Patrick Teals says of the title track from Expert Alterations’ debut album. “It’s pretty self explanatory. Someone, somewhere will find a reason to dislike you. As William Blake once wrote, ‘Listen to the fool’s reproach! It is a kingly title!'”
With that in mind, here’s the tightly wound indie-pop tune “You Can’t Always Be Liked” along with some fall tour dates. Look out for the rest of the Baltimore band’s LP on October 30th through Kanine.
