The humble beginnings of Tallahassee indie rock outfit Look Mexico can be traced to a chance meeting between Matt Agrella (vocals/guitar) and Dave Bumsted (guitar) at a Sea and Cake show held at Florida State University. They started writing songs, and in early 2004 decided to really get a band up and running together. Searching for members to round them out, they eventually hooked up with drummer Josh Mikel; Look Mexico booked their first show in October 2004 (playing with Karate, no less), even though they had yet to find a bassist. A temporary one was found just in time for the gig, but Look Mexico weren’t solidified until after the recording of their first EP, 2005’s So Byzantine, with the addition of Tyson Kuhlhoff.

The guys played various dates, mostly around Florida, before entering the studio in early 2006 to record their next effort. The Crucial EP was released later that year to positive response, and following its recording, Bumsted left to pursue school and was replaced on guitar by Ryan Slate. Over time, the band shared stages with acts like Horse the Band, Piebald, Gogogo Airheart, Fake Problems, and more. Look Mexico signed to Lujo Records in late 2006 and readied their debut full-length, This is Animal Music, which appeared the following summer. The band supported it on the road for the remainder of the year.


To Bed To Battle was written and recorded this past summer in Look Mexico’s former hometown of Tallahassee, FL.

    I miss their old sound. I know it sounds really cliche to say that, but damn..."This is Animal Music" is so fucking GOOD.

    Epic live show in Oslo! Comin' in hot with a side of bacon was the big surprise for me. And what a bunch of nice guys, seriously. Very nice, down to earth and just plain awesome. Very friendly, and very good live! I'm happy for anyone that has the privilege to have such a great night with these guys. Look Mexico = The real deal.
