After two people sent me the same track this week I figured I would post this up. This is my first time hearing Noah and the Whale and I must say there’s definitely a strong Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers resemblance here. Check ou the chorus from the Heartbreakers‘ “Don’t Come Around Here No More” (1985) and Noah’s “Life Goes On” (2011).
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - "Don't Come Around Here No More" (1985)
Noah and the Whale - "L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N" (2011)

Although i enjoy this song cant believe tom petty hasnt sued them yet, its such a blatant ripoff
Definitely a rip from The Kinks “Lola”
It has more of the overall feel of Tom Petty than of The Kinks though. Musically similar to Lola (and the spelling of the title in the chorus is very Kinks, obviously!) but the general sound of the record is more Petty than Davies.
