Look Terrified

Look Terrified might be relative newcomers but everything about them from their image to their website to their music makes it clear they know exactly what they’re about and they positively dare you not to be impressed. Describing themselves as ‘if Arctic Monkeys dropped out of art school and got into Ableton’, this Tyneside-based duo are a riot of neon, beats, frank lyrics, pop chops and a whole lot of confidence and sass. In just a few months, Austin and Connor have already made quite a splash, clearly relish their hands on DIY approach and – most importantly – have made some really excellent synth-pop bangers.
