Look What I Did is an American band, formed in 2001 in Nashville, Tennessee. The band is known for its intense live show, described by Cincinnati CityBeat as a "live act capable of unleashing a scary, uncontrolled intensity bordering on dangerous", and oft-satirical eccentric lyrics.{{cite web |url=http://www.citybeat.com/2005-11-16/musicshorttakes.shtml |website=Cincinnati CityBeat |title=Short Takes |access-date=June 16, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060828014653/http://citybeat.com/2005-11-16/musicshorttakes.shtml |archive-date=August 28, 2006 |url-status=dead }}

Decibel magazine referred to the band in a review of Atlas Drugged, "Look What I Did crush on political philosophers, put Latin words in their song titles and generally get off on being a bunch of wiseasses to spazzed-out Adderall punk."http://decibelmagazine.com/Content.aspx?ncid=363112 {{dead link|date=March 2020}}
Zanzibar III: Analog Prison was named the Best Metal Album of 2015 by The Nashville Scene.{{cite web|url=https://local.nashvillescene.com/publication/best-of-nashville/2015/arts-music-and-culture/best-metal-album/award/look-what-i-did-zanzibar-iii-analog-prison|title=StackPath|website=The Nashville Scene|accessdate=2020-03-31}}
