Mesmerising LOCKS hit BBC playlist

Plus LOCKS gigs and debut album coming up for fast-rising band...

Tuesday, January 9, 2018 — They've been called smoky, cinematic, and ghostly. Radio DJ Steve Lamacq calls them "mesmerising". Singer/guitarist Locks Geary-Griffin sings lullabies of a sort, accompanied by two wise men and one wise woman — Mike Byrne (double bass), Andrew Marvell (drums) and Marian McClenaghan (fiddle). Together they are LOCKS. Together they are mesmerising.

Their sound is delicious, infectious, playful, and almost other-worldly. This puts it well:

"[LOCKS] masterfully weave eerie alt-folk with suspenseful blues rock, which they call skeletal blues" The Revue

Whatever you call it, UK radio has already picked up on the fast-rising London-based band's music. Their debut EP 'Rattle Them Bones' (which features 'Wishbone' and 'The Gin Song') was championed by Steve Lamacq and praised by Tom Robinson and Gary Crowley. 'The Gin Song' was one of Steve Lamacq’s favourites of 2017.

The latest great news is that BBC 6 Music has playlisted LOCKS' new single 'Skin'
Their next single will be 'Bodies', to be released on digital and vinyl, date TBC
Debut album 'Skeletal Blues' is due for release on digital, CD and vinyl in Spring 2018
