iLiKETRAiNS are a post-rock band from Leeds, England.

Their songs are composed of expansive orchestral and guitar-based sounds. They are signed to Beggars Banquet Records, though their debut EP, "Progress Reform", was released on Fierce Panda Records in June, 2006. iLiKETRAiNS' first studio album, "Elegies to Lessons Learnt", was recently released through Beggars Banquet on 1 October, 2007. The band also run a night at The Brudenell Social Club in Leeds called Signal Failure. [Raziq Rauf " [http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/791350 iLiKE...Signal Failure?] ". DrownedinSound.com. Retrieved on 27 October, 2007.]

On 7 April, 2007, they featured on the early-hours music television programme The JD Set, which featured live performance clips and interviews. David Martin talked about how he wanted their music to have a "sense of location" and that this was lacking in music like "Godspeed and Sigur Rós". [Laban, Linda. " [http://www.metrobostonnews.com/us/article/2007/10/11/22/0856-72/index.xml Romantically declining Brits] ". "Metro International". Retrieved on 27 October, 2007.]

They work on concept albums which are also optically represented on stage, by means of video projections and the band's actual image (the mournings on their arms for example). The songs on the Elegies to Lessons Learnt are based on tragic historical events and figures and the songs were created after thorough research and study.
