Biography
Looking For An Answer began spontaneously in 1999 as a one man band, when Felix started making music after leaving his former band Expiration. His reason for creating this new project was to make a music mainly focused into crust punk with a strong ideology centered into animal liberation and veganism. That year Felix recorded of what was the first official split 7" EP with the mythic Agathocles from Belgium,released in 2000 by Selfishfucker and Bad People (USA) thanks to the help of Mr Haroldo Mardones (Catheter, Capitalist Casualties).
It was in 2000 when Looking For An Answer changed from being a project to becoming a real band.

Felix, Ramon and Inaki came back to the VRS studio to record their two new releases, a one side split with Kontraattaque released by La Idea in 2003 and a 7" EP split with Catheter released by Parade in 2006.
