by Walter Price
Call the recent toe-tapping single, “Don’t Keep Me Guessin'”, by Ontario outfit Dany Laj & The Looks what you will. Folk-punk, roots-pop, pub-rock…no matter, you’ll be right on the money. Full of hip-swaying energy, this track is you and me, together, foregoing the speculations love song. With the enthusiastic and intricate guitar work that’ll drive you wild, Jeanette Dowling on bass ánd harmonies will cause swooning, and when vocalist/songwriter Dany Laj hits those higher than high notes, look in your rearview, because you’ve probably inadvertently started to speed down the highway. It’s fair to say that Summer 2021 just got its let-the-good-times-roll anthem…

“The narrative weaved together by Laj’s powerful yet unpretentious lyrics tells the tale of the Northern Ontario kid trying to find his way south.” – bc bio
