Good Looks
(Austin, TX)
Genre: Indie Rock
Good Looks write kindhearted and cathartic rock songs about the persistence required to make
it through hard times. In April 2022, the Austin, Texas quartet released their critically acclaimed
debut Bummer Year, which channeled post-2016 frustrations into lyrically generous and biting
tracks. Immediately after their triumphant hometown record release show, tragedy struck.
Walking outside the venue, lead guitarist Jake Ames was hit by a car crossing the street,
fracturing his skull and tailbone. Following a necessary period of healing and processing which
found him in the ICU and dealing with short-term memory issues, Ames recovered. The
traumatic accident strengthened their bond, which is evident on their electric new album Lived
Here For A While. Out June 7 via Keeled Scales, it’s fearlessly direct music that captures the
full-throated intensity of their galvanizing live show.
Motel Breakfast
(Chicago, IL)
Genre: Indie Rock
Motel Breakfast is a true Midwestern band, with members split between Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison.
After three years of live shows in the Midwest, the band hit the studio in the summer of 2019 to record to tape at Treehouse Records in Chicago. Produced by Andy Goitia (of Milwaukee’s Sleepy Gaucho), the self-titled debut album (released 2/7/2020) combines some of their most polished songwriting yet with the high energy and chemistry of their live show, making for the first studio effort to give a proper snapshot of the group.
Left on Deming, the self-produced follow-up project, is a 6-track EP that was released one song at a time throughout the summer and fall of 2020. With studio goals of tracking live and keeping arrangements simple, the project was pieced together quickly over one summer weekend of recording. The full EP was released everywhere digitally on October 16, 2020.
