London 5-piece Lock-In formed early in 2019 and have been catching the eye of the ever since, especially This Feeling and their loyal army of rock ‘n’ roll lovers.
Their intelligent heartfelt tales of being an inbetweener come with integrity they beckon you into their world to dance, sing, and screw. Their human connection is key to their success, let’s see why:
Get Over It
This simple tale of break-up angst and finding one’s self is as old as time but, here, it’s fresh and infectious. A great lead-off single from their upcoming debut EP.
The psyche opening reflects the lethargic soul emerging from the pain with aplomb. However, Lock-In are a recalcitrant bunch and soon saunter to more positive pastures.
They’re not of their level (yet) but, this journey is roaming freely towards Two Door Cinema’s vibrancy and, knocking at the door of Mystery Jet’s pop melodies.
Teenager
Lo-fi bedroom recording collides with a hazy guitar licks and 00s indie-punk to deliver an infectious and menacing jangle.
Form the cult classic bracket of Bromhead Jackets and The Kilians, their youthful longing for escape will strike home to all generations during lockdown. As Benjy Leak sings ‘I wish, we could fly away, to a better place just for the sake of it’, the 18-year-old in all of us will rise. Gung ho trips to the med, shots, fish bowls, kebab sleep repeat for a fortnight is everyone’s dream right now!
This is the carefree anthem that, post-vaccine is going to soundtrack that first mental night out we’re longing for!
Lock-In would like to invite listeners to show support towards mental health awareness charities including CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and Samaritans UK.
