1) The guys of LICK… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 2 bands who use(d) this name:
1) The guys of LICK are true hardrock fans! After years spending their summers on the rooftop of the brothers Groen’s house listening to LP's of all the hardrock heroes, they decided to start a band of their own. A real band, like Guns 'n Roses, AC/DC and Aerosmith.
Under the influence of rock 'n roll they created a rich, full and authentic sound that sends a chill down your spine that hasn't been felt since the 80's. Raw guitar licks, bashing drums and a lead singer that 'slightly' resembles Steven Tyler in his younger years.
Not long after their first show back in 2008 they got the change to produce their first single with GEM frontman Maurits Westerik. The single was a success and the band played in venues and festivals all over Holland. They shook the stages of venues as Atak (Enschede), Luxor Live (Arnhem), Hedon (Zwolle), Effenaar (Eindhoven) and Burgerweeshuis (Deventer) and shared them with the legendary rockbands UFO [GB], KEEL [US], Negative [FIN] and their Dutch partners in rock Vanderbuyst.
After these successes it was time for something new. Early 2010 they started the recording of their debut EP including 5 tracks, which was released October 2010 in a sold-out local venue. They also released the music video of the bands second single 'Bad As Luck'. The music video was partly recorded in Hollywood and aired on national television. Both the cd and the music video were a great success.
The new cd launched the band to a higher level and the stages got bigger and bigger, including festival deBeschaving in Utrecht and Bevrijdingsfestival in Zwolle, where they played for a crowd of 2000.
In november 2012 they released their first full-lenght, "Mount Rock", which is available as a free download at their website

2) Also a hard-charging bunch of Chicago guitar punks who threw a sampler, Jason McNinch's studio muckery, Alex Welz' throaty howling and taunting, and the occasional Martin Atkins drum track into a blender and snickered when a soundtrack to teeth being spit out on concrete emerged. Not exactly typical of Invisible Records' "industrial posse" sound of the '90s, but signed there nonetheless and present (at least a member or two at a time) on a couple of Pigface records as a result. Split up in '98, leaving the songs' attitude several years to drift around in the ether before being soaked up by an incipient SuicideGirls.com.
3) Noise trio from Portland, Oregon. LICK mixes a variety of noise and electronic styles into a cacophonous stream of aural experimentation. Far from the boundaries of power electronics and ambient drone, their style would be described as a swirling mix of tightly produced digital artifacts, effected guitar and multilayered samples.
4) Mid-90s Britpop band who released a string of mildly successful singles in 1995-1996, most notably "Stand Up!," and recorded a full-length album named "Turbulence" that was due to be released in 1996 but ultimately shelved. The record was later offered for free on the internet.

Lick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pra não ter que te encarar
Afogo na piscina
Pra você me salvar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Tenho todos que quero
Mas perco o ar quando te vejo
Saio com seus vizinhos
Só pra você me notar
Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar
Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Eu só quero, quero brincar com você
Eu só quero brincar com você
Não me despreze
Eu sou pior que você
Não tenha medo
Eu só quero brincar
The lyrics of Lick's song "REBEL" depict someone who is infatuated with another person but feels inadequate and invisible in their presence. The first line "Finjo ser invisível" which translates to "I pretend to be invisible" shows that the singer is too shy to confront their feelings directly. The second line "Pra não ter que te encarar" which translates to "So I don't have to face you" shows the fear and anxiety they experience when confronted by the person they like.
The bridge "Tenho todos que quero, mas perco o ar quando te vejo" which translates to "I have everyone I want but lose my breath when I see you" shows that despite having other options, the singer still finds themselves drawn to the object of their affection. The desperation of the singer's infatuation is highlighted in the line "Saio com seus vizinhos, só pra você me notar" which translates to "I hang out with your neighbours, just for you to notice me".
The chorus "Eu só quero brincar com você" which translates to "I just want to play with you" shows the childlike nature of the singer's infatuation. They don't necessarily want a romantic or sexual relationship, they just want to spend time with the person they like. The final lines "Não me despreze, eu sou pior que você, não tenha medo, eu só quero brincar" which translate to "Don't despise me, I'm worse than you, don't be afraid, I just want to play" show the vulnerability and insecurity of the singer as they plead with the object of their affection to give them a chance.
