CD Review
By The DRP
A precursor of greater and better things to come. It's getting better each day for we lovers of what the word rock and roll really stands for. Locke 'n' Load is built for speed and deliver straightforward high voltage rock and roll with a healthy dose of punk angst thrown in for good measure. Featuring, J.T. Locke on vocals/guitars and Johnny Locke on bass, I can't wait till these guys blow up. Locke 'n' Load should easily find themselves a niche if the don't explode into a million pieces after one party too many.
This 5 Song EP represents a good 40 minutes of good times packed with attitude and balls the size of boulders with no let up. Starting with "On To Us" that barrels right of your speakers like a freight train. "Out Of Time", "Sorry That I'm High" and the b-side, "Your Attention Please", are sure to get your adrenaline pumping in no time flat! Forget about NuMetal and those wimps called ColdPlay, this is how rock should sound. Mathematically symmetrical in its element, Locke 'n' Load doesn't blend, merge or even create. It just does what a rock band hasn't done in a long time, namely ROCK! Words need not say more. Grab your tassels, grip some hot coals and put the wife and kids to bed. It is time to rip! It is time To Rock! Rock is definitely back in the form of Locke 'n' Load . You can't go wrong here. The sound and production is balls out badass from the first track to the last.
