Look Mexico has undoubtedly sharpened their songwriting skills, tightened the instrumental interplay and broadened their experimental horizons on their new release, Gasp, Asp. Look Mexico is one of those rare examples where the sum of its parts is greater than any individual contribution, where each kinetic, angular guitar note rings out, dancing around rippled bass lines while songs are propelled by spring-loaded drums and served up to the listener with warm, sincere pop hooks. Alone, Matt Agrella, Ryan Slate, Josh Mikel, Ryan Smith, and Dave Pinkham are talented musicians. Together as Look Mexico, they are unquestionably something special. [...]
There is nothing normal about the music of Mt. Sims . From their start in 2000, they have played dark hyper-sexual dance music with a tinge of political satire. They have released two such electro-pop albums, and now they have returned but a few things have changed. After releasing a second album Wild Light and touring extensively throughout Europe as a three-piece band (as opposed to a performance art piece as was the case with Ultrasex) Sims decided on breaking the band up and relocating to Berlin, Germany. It is here that Sims began working on the [...]

Look Mexico [ Official Site , Myspace ] were basically skewered by our own James Mitchell a little over a year ago for getting by on potential. He was tired of the insufferably long titles and, as he puts it "regardless of whether or not the southern musings of sluggish pop-punk are to be found on better records, it would be impossible to say Look Mexico are not viable contenders in the midst of their contemporaries. ???I Like Being a Millionaire. You Will Too, Believe Me,??? the album???s closing track, is reminiscent of Sunny Day [...]

As tired as animal metaphors can be (especially in the bloated language of music reviews), Gasp Asp is a record that truly lives up to its title. Like the venomous phylum of snakes that its namesake encompasses, Look Mexico's newest EP is whip smart in speed and sound; its scales bright and polished, its demeanor aggressive without being sloppy. Like the Mecha Godzilla before it, Gasp Asp is a well oiled reptilian machine. This isn't to say that it is devoid of the tricks that made [...]

The Floridian quartet has undergone some physical changes since they released the markedly mature debut full-length, This Is Animal Music in 2007. Line-up additions include Ryan Smith on bass and Dave Pinkham on keyboards. Both contributed to the new EP as did old bassist, Tyson Kuhloff. You might imagine that the presence of two new players would be evident in the music--and you'd be right. For those already familiar with the band's sound, lets just say the EP begins with a violin intro. And you thought Look Mexico was good [...]

Since the Buzzgrinder staff is so lazy, we've turned over operations to our friend Jacob Merritt, drummer of Pomegranates , for the day. Pomegranates has been living in Cincinnati for a little while now, and one of the most exciting things the town has going on is Midpoint Music Festival : 50,000 people and over 200 artists from all over North America converge on downtown Cinci for three days of great live music, workshops with pioneers in independent music/art and Q&A's with great [...]

I could describe Tallahassee's Look Mexico in a number of different ways. I could say that they are like a more uppity and energetic American Football. I could describe their guitar parts as being angular and melodic, a bit like Minus the Bear. I could go hopping off the walls and say they somehow remind me of The Marshall Tucker band with the way their songs feel like they were all slowly deep-fried and put onto a paper plate with a big hunk of watermelon. But the truth is that they are all of these things and none [...]
In the interests of full disclosure, I guess I should mention that Look Mexico are friends of mine. The first time I met their singer Matt, I almost threw him out of my cinema, and sure enough we became pals after that. At the band's first gig, they played only Rod Stewart covers. A few line-up changes and EPs later, they have a debut album out on Lujo Records . Things seem to be taking off for them, and I'm very proud. They're on a massive U.S. tour at the moment - the whole [...]
