Recommended: Looker
Looker are a mostly female pop-punk group from New York City. They tell us that they’re heading for the UK in April of this year.
I sort of hesitate to use the word ’spunky’, but their poppy vocals and raw guitar parts inspire that kind of description. There’s something familiar about the Looker sound, like I’ve heard the style before, but can’t point out a specific band they sound like.
That’s probably not a bad thing – I get the impression they’d come over and kick my ass if I compared them to, say, The Bangles. But it’s that era that Looker’s music is reminiscent of.
Listen to their tracks on MySpace – their sound is upbeat and immediate, with clever lyrics, great hooks and harmonies. I recommend After My Divorce and Master’s Gone Away.
The Looker Line-up
It looks like everybody in Looker gets a go at singing. Well, they’d need to in order to propel those harmonies. Here’s who’s in the band:
- Boshra AlSaadi – Guitar & Vocals
- Nicole Greco – Guitar & Vocals
- AJ Lambert – Bass & Vocals
- Robbie Overbey – Drums & Vocals

Why must these Americans keep on flogging more trash here. Haven’t they done enough damage to the pop charts in the uk over the last 20 years. Carry on fleecing the american public and allow the Brits to get on with it.

Wow, that’s a surprisingly harsh attitude from you Maureen, I sincerely hope you’re being ironic!
Brilliant music can come from either side of the ocean, or any part of the world for that matter. I’ve really enjoyed listening to Looker’s music – listening to bands like these proves that there’s better music out there than what we’ve got in the charts today.
