Look Out Love released video for indie rock track, Never Know

September 9, 2015

Look Out Love which is the great work of Jordan Benker and he has captured our attention with his infectious indie rock tracks. He has recently released a new music video for Never Know which you can check out here: Earlier this year Look Out Love released his EP, It’s 11:11 Somewhere and has just released on September 1st, a brand new EP, Oh Boy, a collection of indie-rock classic styles tackling the effects that love has on one another and the ups and downs that it can bring in life. Benker had this to add:  “If there was a way to sum up what the future of Look Out Love holds, it would be the Oh Boy EP. These 4 songs all have a certain raw and real persona, and each track stands out with their own unique Look Out Love quirks. The range of emotions felt on the record spans a pretty large scale, and it’s only a plus that each song will make you want to dance.” You can pick up Oh Boy [Read More]
