Premiere: Reckoners – “Look Out Below”

In a Blues Rock Review exclusive premiere, listen to “Look Out Below,” the latest single from Boston-based roots rock band Reckoners.

Built around a funk-fueled groove and the band’s signature blend of soul, blues, and rock, “Look Out Below” showcases Reckoners’ knack for combining tight musicianship with a gritty, barroom-ready energy. The track features tasty guitar riffs locked in with a hard-driving rhythm section, with additional support from Nigel Hall of Lettuce and Lamar Williams Jr. The single was mixed and produced alongside Alan Evans of Soulive.

“Look Out Below” is the fourth single from Reckoners’ upcoming sophomore album, Where The Hell Am I?, which arrives May 15 via Gitcha Records. The album marks the band’s debut release with the label and continues to build on the momentum they’ve generated across the New England music scene.

Guitarist Johnny Trama shared some insight into the inspiration behind the song.

“’Look Out Below’ is a lineup of the unusual suspects that might frequent the barrooms that we call second homes. We changed the names to protect the not-so-innocent.”

Reckoners is fronted by singer and guitarist Tim Gearan and features guitarist and bandleader Johnny Trama (Bettye LaVette, The Silks, Dub Apocalypse), drummer Tom Arey (Peter Wolf, The J. Geils Band, G. Love, Vapors of Morphine), bassist Marc Hickox (Bettye LaVette, Charlie Musselwhite), and keyboardist Darby Wolf (Bettye LaVette, Rubblebucket). Together they channel the grit and groove of classic soul and rock into a sound that feels both timeless and personal.
