by Chris WoodstraDirty Looks (not to be confused with the late-80s metal band of the same name) were formed in the late 70s in Staten Island, NY. Composed of Patrick Barnes (guitar/vocals), Peter Parker (drums/vocals), and Marco Sin (bass/vocals), the trio began playing their hard-rocking power pop at Maxs Kansas City and CBGB where they were discovered by Stiff Records Dave Robinson. Robinson signed them, anticipating they were the next big thing. After releasing one brilliant single (Let Go), a good but unfortunately overlooked debut LP for Stiff, and a mediocre follow-up, the band faded into obscurity.\r
