| Looker, Built to Burn (OLP Records). This Laramie, Wyoming, garage band hammers big fuzzy guitar into the middle of your forebrain like the second coming of the Fluid. "Mind Control On the Radio" is good for at least fifteen mph over the speed limit, while "What a Waste of Time" puts the pedal to the floor on the home stretch. — Rob Williams |

I would never think that Wyoming would be a place where high octane rock ‘n’ roll would call home. But Looker put all of those doubts to rest with their release, Blacktop Accelerator.
Mixing the energy of the Ramones and Supersuckers, with a pint of Black Sabbath heaviness, Looker is able to wear many influences while still having an original sound. With ten tracks averaging at around two and a half minutes each, the intensity never lets up. There is punk attitude with a ‘70's garage feel of a band just giving it their all for the rock. And with a new release on the horizon, Looker are on mission to keep the strife coming. The energy is endless when Looker is playing. Get ready for a wild ride when they're at the helm. - Matthew Tranker (StonerRock.com) |
About
Who the hell is Looker? Who cares!
Fast cars, fast women, booze and rock n' roll. In a state with more than 6 months of snow and wind a year, the cars don't run and the girls stay home. This Wyoming band proves that the Cowboy State isn't a two trick pony when it comes to music. Punk rock and 70s rock n' roll get it on in the back seat. When all you have is time and alcohol, what better way to keep warm than with beer soaked rock n' roll about cars and girls?
