Look See Proof was an indie pop-rock ensemble consisting of five members from Hertfordshire, active between 2006 and 2009.
Throughout their career, they toured extensively across the UK, opening for prominent bands such as The Fratellis, The Rifles, Foals, and Good Shoes. Their notable performances included appearances at Club NME hosted at KOKO, as well as major festivals like Glastonbury Festival, Camden Crawl, The Great Escape Festival, and Guilfest.
The group issued two singles under the Tigertrap Records label: 'Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me'/'Start Again' and 'Discussions'/'Singles The New Together'. The debut single earned the distinction of "single of the week" on Steve Lamacq's BBC6 Music program and sold out within seven days. These tracks also attracted airplay from well-known DJs such as Fearne Cotton and Chris Moyles.
Their third single, titled 'Casualty' and released through Weekender Records, was selected as Rebel Playlist on Lamacq's show and received favorable reviews in NME. The accompanying music video, directed by Barry Sells, was broadcast on MTV2. Following this, the fourth single, 'Local Hero', also distributed by Weekender, gained rotation on MTV2. The band performed "Casualty" live on Lily Allen and Friends after winning a viewer vote.
Upon ending their relationship with Weekender Records, Look See Proof embarked on a European tour and began working on demos for a second album. In late 2008, they expanded their lineup by adding Jaime Randall to handle tambourine and keyboard duties.
Their concluding performance took place on 31 July 2009 in Hitchin before the band dissolved. Afterward, brothers Lee and David Sells went on to establish Burial Club alongside two additional musicians.
