    Jordan showcases his versatile melodic sensibility, while Ames deploys guitar parts that sound like they’ll scorch your skin one second and slash it the next. Those two are not just best friends; they possess a uniquely potent musical alchemy that sits at the core of what makes Good Looks more than just another guitar-rock band, and Lived Here For A While so exhilaratingly expressive and cathartic.

    Matching thoughtful lyricism with heightened arrangements, they're building on what they've learned, and all their efforts are clicking at the right time.

    Without romanticizing their lives, they do manage to find something meaningful in that pursuit, even if it’s just another song to stave off the darkness.
