Hailing from Hertfordshire near London, Look See Proof are brothers David and Lee Sells (lead vocals & bass/ vocals & guitar respectively) along with friends Jason Slender (guitar) and Jonny Harry (vocals & drums).

In their spare time they’re a plumber, a student, a glazier and a gardener but since forming in March 2006 Look See Proof have been creating the sort of angular, choppy, vocally layered, danceable music that people are fast finding hard to ignore. With their third single ‘Casualty’ spending 2 months in the Club NME chart, peaking at number 1, and the video receiving over 60 plays on MTV2, Look See Proof are hurtling swiftly into public consciousness.

2007 has so far seen them play Glastonbury Festival (where they were honoured to ask to open the John Peel stage)as well as supporting such luminaries as The Pigeon Detectives, Brakes and Ash not to mention Razorlight’s Johnny Borrell at his recent solo London show. With requests for gigs now coming from as far afield as Paris, Milan and Moscow, LSP continue to steadily grow their fanbase through regular live shows wherever and whenever they can. Autumn 2007 sees them play a 20 date UK tour with The Twang, play Manchester’s famous In The City Festival and Amsterdam’s London Calling as well as their own headline shows.

Look See Proof write music for young people about everyday life. Their new Weekender Records single ‘Local Hero’ tells the story of a man blinkered to the lies of a cheating girlfriend who eventually, with the help of his friends manages to turn his back on the situation.
