Product Description
''I got to know the guys in Locksley when they served as my backing band for my U.S. tour. I just heard their forthcoming album and I was reminded why I loved these guys in the first place.'' --Ray Davies of the Kinks

Locksley is a band in the truest sense, fronted by three singin', guitar-slingin' songwriters kicking out unabashed pop gems that beat with a rock 'n' roll heart. Produced by longtime collaborator Guy Benny, and released on the band's own Feature Records, Locksley captures the NYC-based combo's knack for timeless songcraft, melding three-part harmonies, glorious melodies, and unshakable hooks. Marked by Locksley's almost encyclopedic passion for music with a particular affinity for British Invasion beat groups, NYC punk, classic Stax/Volt soul, and garage-fuelled 21st Century indie rock, their self-titled album's manic pop thrills represent the definitive account of their electrifying first chapter. Songs such as the rip-roaring first single "The Whip" and the anthemic "Oh, Wisconsin!" deftly thread the needle between pure pop perfection and punk's raw power, with crunchy riffs, call-and-response choruses, and snug harmonies. Crackling with energy and ingenuity, Locksley reveals a marvelously gifted band that have only just begun rocking to the peak of their powers.
