“People change, things change, while determination still remains…”
For a band that has already had its fair share of hardships in the past, the ever-evolving hard rock sound of Lik-Wid is now stronger than ever without disregarding the importance self-expression and maintaining melody.
 
After the radio success of "The Last Time", the bands pre-production release demo, which was tracked in Brisbane QLD with Festival/Mushroom producer Stuart Stuart at Chart song Productions (The Veronicas, Small Mercies), which later secured them as Finalists in the 2004 National Songwriting competition - SOYA (Noise), the band began to embark on their most ambitious project to date…
 
“Breathing For The First Time” the bands debut official release, had the benefit of time in production. Original writing began early 2004, and in 2005 the band sought out the help of their friend and producer Stuart Stuart (The Veronicas, Small Mercies) again to Co-Produce with the band.
 
“Breathing For The First Time” was to later be mixed by 2005 Aria Award Winning Engineer of the year Matt Lovell (Silverchair, INXS, Lotel, Sarah McLeod), and was Mastered by Steve Smart at 301 Studios Sydney. (Breathing For The First Time is distributed nationally through MGM Distribution).

Since the 2007 debut EP release, Give Myself, Mik Morley has established himself as one of Australia’s premier up and coming independent singer-songwriters. Following the success of the debut release, which has already drawn in masses of support from fans of all ages, Mik Morley launches a new chapter in his solo song writing career, with the release of his anticipated second studio release, Wanting More.

Wanting More is a change of direction, and a step forward for the young songwriter, containing a collection of powerful pop rock songs that are easy to relate to. Mimicking the popular themes of love, life, loss and regret, but delivering them in a positive and upbeat way. During the writing stages of Wanting More, Mik resisted the urge to maintain the moody and contemporary feel which he delivered with Give Myself, and went back to the basics of the song writing, delivering it in a powerful and energetic way for our generation.

“My first love of music was the classic rock from the 80’s” explains Mik, who was formally the guitarist for the rock band Lik-Wid for 7 years, before leaving to pursue his solo song writing career. “I have always wanted to maintain two simple elements in all my songs, melody and groove, what I’ve always loved about 80’s rock”.

Mik Morley may have more of a hard-rock background, but this isn’t that kind of music. It still reflects the parallels between energy and drive, to soul and mood, but this is music for everyone. His quickly building song writing success can be mainly attributed to his broad and ever-growing international fan based.

Throughout Mik’s song writing career to date, he has written songs that have picked up by Major US Labels to be used by top platinum selling artists, featured in independent and major feature films, television, commercials and international compilations. As well as being fortunate enough to work names such as ARIA Award Winning Matt Lovell (Silverchair, INXS, Sarah McLeod), Phil Hill (Grammy Nominated & Platinum Selling Artists, Spoon, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead, Yo-Yo Ma) and Stuart Stuart (The Veronicas, Small Mercies). “I don’t think I do anything special, but I have learned a lot from some amazing people and I am thankful for that” Mik exclaims.

At the request from fans, Mik is due to release a stripped acoustic album that will be available for download through his official website later in 2008, to be followed with a national acoustic tour.

With the release of Wanting More, Mik hopes to expand on his growing successes and share the music with a wider and diverse audience. “Keeping it simple, fun, and musically something that flows is always important to me in writing a song”. Wanting More is one of those albums that you can just enjoy!
