The story/meaning behind our name Looms is….Words with multiple meanings are cool!!
We met each other…..Harry, Andy, and Sharif met in New Jersey while playing in other bands. Sharif met Zach after moving to Brooklyn and working at the Brooklyn Bowl as a sound engineer.

The most OCD member is….Sharif, don’t touch him
For fun we like to….Keep people out of jail, Head to the mountains, Travel abroad, Write music, Purchase guitars
We’re currently listening to….Blood Orange radio
Our favorite tracks to play live are….All of a Sudden (new)
If we play/cover another band’s music it’s….Radiohead or Wilco
Waking Days was recorded in….Paramus, NJ at Gearbox Recording Studio
Something odd we want our fans to know about us is….Andy will be your public defender if you get in trouble at our show
We’re absolutely terrified of….The rent increases in Williamsburg
Our last meals would be….Eggs, hummus, avocado, sriracha on a Croissant
In the next six months you should expect….New music following up Waking Days!
