Sounds Like"With one collective stiletto heel in the Brill Building circa 1963 and the other in what used to be CBGB...my first favorite racket of 2007."
-David Fricke, 'Fricke's Picks', Rolling Stone, January 25th, 2007

"Sassy American rock & roll with low slung guitars and economically short power-pop riffs."
-Steve Lamacq BBC1 radio

"Looker's pop-punk is lived in and and time-proven...skilled in the simplest of undeniable things: endlessly bouncy rhythms, female harmonies and a fist-pumping quality."
-Mike Wolf, Time Out New York

"Looker are New York City inheritors of the best parts of the punk sound...the best songs on their debut EP (which are hard to choose) convey the pumping fists of heartfelt conviction even when they aren't trying to convince."
-Joey Rubin, About.com January 2007

I was looking for information about a band that I was in years ago named Looker and found out about your band...and got turned on to some great tunes.

Enjoying the tunes

Dirty White Boy

PS. our White Kid Leather site has the Looker material we recorded if interested....It is so strange to see two Lookers listed in the friends section ...lol

Feb 6 2008 3:11 AM

Hello, yeah you're coming to the UK, you should try and get on the Breeders tour it's that week!, then we could see you in Birmingham or somewhere near.

Doing a bit of Peppermintpatti plugging so that's the excuse for the bit below:


Adam Walton at BBC RADIO WALES has asked us to do a 25 minute monthly blog for his show. Our first blog was broadcast on February 3rd 2008 with songs from Kristin Hersh, Das Wanderlust, Party Weirdo and Silence at Sea. You can listen again for one week at http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmJiYy5jby51ay9yYWRpby9hb2Qvd2FsZXMuc2h0bWw and click on Adam Walton's name to go through to his show. The blog is 1 hour , 52 minutes into the show. However it's another great show from Adam with lots of female artists represented so if you've time well worth a listen, the first four bands and last band on the show are all female fronted and have played Peppermintpatti.
