Good Looks releases two brand new singles, “Damage Control” and “Chase Your Demons Out,” presented as a double A-side, both tracks are off the band’s latest LP Lived Here For A While, now available via Keeled Scales (Lunar Vacation). On the inspiration behind “Damage Control,” frontman Tyler Jordan explains: “I wrote this song in two parts—the first during a rough patch in the relationship, and the second after we finally broke up. I was listening to a lot of Big Star when I started writing, and you can definitely hear their influence in the chord progression. It’s not the most gracious breakup song, but it’s a photo of a feeling and a moment in time.”

“Chase Your Demons Out” meanwhile, was written around the release of the band’s 2022 album Bummer Year, and explores the group’s feeling of knowing they are older than most of their indie rock peers releasing a debut album. However, Jordan explains “That gave us some distinct advantages in being ready for the road ahead. This song is about standing on the edge of the future, feeling prepared for a moment you’ve been working toward your whole life.”

Lived Here For A While follows the Austin band’s debut Bummer Year, which channeled post-2016 frustrations into lyrically generous and biting tracks. However, 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. Ames recovered, and the traumatic accident strengthened their bond.
