Locksley is a four piece rock band from Madison, Wisconsin that now resides in Brooklyn, NY. In January 2007, the band released their first album, “Don’t Make Me Wait.” They’re style of garage rock has consistently been compared to the Beatles. Their music definitely has 60’s inspired rhythm but it’s combined with the energy of contemporary rock ‘n’ roll. Since its release, Locksley became the first unsigned band to ever be aired on MTV and was chosen by Rolling Stone as one of the top 25 bands on MySpace. Locksley has toured the world opening for bands like OK Go, The Dandy Warhols, The Rapture, The Bravery, The Hives, and Rooney. In addition, their music has been featured on blockbuster movies like Cloverfield and on the Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 game Rock Band. Recently, the guys performed on Jimmy Kimmel live and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. The band is currently working on their second album in Brooklyn. Check them out!
