Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive , New Music Adeline Austin-based rockers Look Mexico have been blazing the tour trails of North America ever since the band's inception years ago in Tallahassee, Fla. Recently returning to the studio as a newly minted four-piece, Look Mexico recently recorded 'Real Americans Spear It,' an EP that couples alt-country brawn with indie-rock sincerity. The record's comically-titled single 'Arrest? I Don't Feel Like I'm [...]
This track isn't new, but it has recently received a lot of attention on my iPod. You know when a track creeps back into your life and you just can't stop listening? That's where I'm at with Look Mexico 's "You Stay. I Go. No Following." I've been thinking about this band a lot recently, likely because they just released a new EP . I really, really love the angsty, heartbreak of this track. I feel like anyone who's been in a long term relationship has been in this place. [...]
Haven't done much due diligence this week. That said, I can recommend releases from Ryan Adams , Crooked Fingers and Look Mexico . Other than that, I've got no clue. The bonus tracks for the Yuck reissue are good, too. Don't know if they're worth buying the entire record again, though. Anybody have opinions on the new stuff from T.W. Walsh , Björk , Absu , Ben Lee , Rocket From the Tombs and Andrew Bird ? Haven't heard enough from any of them to form a [...]

A good live band doesn't always mean a good live show. Over-rehearsing or over-thinking can lead to songs either sounding too much like their studio counterparts or too little. No one wants to feel like they're sitting at home listening to an album, but audiences still want to know what songs they're hearing. Fortunately, Look Mexico avoids both of these pitfalls. Having not seen the band in two years and thus never witnessing live incarnations of any tracks from the Gasp Asp EP or To Bed To Battle [...]
Currently caravaning across the great Canadian tundra, Austin's Look Mexico took some time off the stage this week to issue a statement about its new, permanent drummer. If you recall, earlier this year, founding member and drummer Joshua Mikel departed from the band to pursue other interests. Since then, they've been working with Alex Gooding. But we'll let the band explain: "When Josh left in February before our release-tour for 'To Bed To Battle,' (Ryan) Smith and (Ryan) Slate's longtime friend Alex Gooding came in like the cavalry and saved our collective ass. He dropped [...]

Alex's inclusion follows the departure of original drummer Joshua Mikel prior to release of their second LP " To Bed To Battle " via Suburban Home this past March. "When Josh left in February before our release-tour for 'To Bed To Battle,' (Ryan) Smith and (Ryan) Slate's longtime friend Alex Gooding came in like the cavalry and saved our collective ass. He dropped [...]
This Murder By Death video reminds me of that one animated Look Mexico video . Not sure why, since the style and story are completely different. Cartoon water, I guess.
I wrote about Look Mexico way back in the olden days. If you remember, I was all about the band's The Crucial EP , a mathematical throwback to when bands like American Football uncringingly flew the emo banner. Three years later, the band's come out with To Bed To Battle , an album that guitarist Ryan Slate says is less about crazy guitar parts than it is "a nice hug that brings you in." That works for me. Watch the boys go hunting and grab the song below. MP3: Look Mexico [...]
Austin-by-way-of-Tallahassee band Look Mexico released their second album, To Bed To Battle , back in late March. On the new record the group breach the trials and tribulations of life on a steady climb of guitars and inspired melodies, adding in some horns, strings, and a few epiphanies on the way. "You Stay. I Go. No Following." mp3 "You Stay. I Go. No Following." video http://www.suburbanhomerecords .com/ http://www.myspace.com/lookmex ico
Behind every hard-working, dream-chasing musician is a mom who let her son or daughter convert the garage into a studio, or drove the minivan to their first show, or made them practice guitar for an hour every night before TV-time. As we lead up to Mother's Day on Sunday, we've decided to salute these hippest of ladies through stories and quotes from many musicians (and their moms!). Here is Matt Agrella of Tallahassee's indie-rock outfit Look Mexico (he's the one with the glasses above) and his mom, Shirley, to indulge us: [...]
Cohesion is a sign of aging well, and while Look Mexico is still young, they show a remarkable sense of maturity on their sophomore album To Bed To Battle , toning down the scatological math jamming found on their earlier work in favor of songs that are tighter, darker, and more dramatic. The lyrics suffer in the process, but it's nice to see them harness their scatter shot energy for a more unified approach. Simply put, the band sounds angrier. But it's a balanced anger, a melodic rage that knows when to hold back and [...]

Look Mexico is a band of many members with many talents. In their new and second overall studio album, To Bed To Battle, the band from Tallahassee, FL shows their ranging musical abilities. Some bands can be accused of having a lead singer that tries to steal the glory from his other band mates, however, lead vocalist Matt Agrella cannot be charged with this offense for his work on this album. In some songs such as "They Offered Me A Deal (I Said No, Naturally)" his voice is only heard as a compliment of sorts to the rest of the [...]
