"For all you cynical music fans out there who hold the belief that I used to, that of; "new music today sucks"...then BUY THIS CD! I have been reborn with this CD...it has shown me that there are good ole rock n roll bands out there, even in 2008, who know how to rock, and come up with great songs. The kind of songs you heard on the radio when the Beatles, the Hollies, the Kinks, the Who....Badfinger, the Knack, the Ramones, Cheap Trick....remember great music??? Well, it's here folks! Locksley is aforce to be reckoned with!! Buy it today!!!! "D" in Mass."
Modern Pop At It's Finest!

"Simply put, Locksley is a perfect example of modern Pop Rock and just how good it can be. If you're looking for one of the finest upbeat, feel-good albums of the year, look no further. This is one of the greatest gems to emerge in it's genre for a long, long time. This album is just hit after hit."

"I'm a "classic rock" kind of guy, and Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and others are my main music interests. That being said, I'm always on the look out for new groups/music, and I read about Locksley while clicking around Amazon one day recently. I don't know why, but Amazon didn't have previews of the tracks like they usually do, so I did a quick Google search, and found other places to listen to/watch some of their music. I thought they sounded promising, so I bought the CD. I'm glad I did. I can't say that the album is "excellent" or deserving of five stars, and I know it's not fair to compare it to albums that I would consider to be five star, but it's certainly a 4+ star. There are probably all sorts of detractors out there, who say that Locksley sounds like derivatives or ripoffs of old Beatles or Yardbirds or Kinks tunes, but I say what the hell. It's a fun album to listen to, which is fine for me; I don't expect every album to be a creative masterpiece or make a political statement for a generation. This album entertains, so if that's what you're looking for, buy it; you won't be disappointed."
Amazing!

"This is the one album I never get sick of and that I want to listen to over and over again. Each song is just wonderfully done! It definitely not the same song over and over yet all the songs seem to belong to each other. It's absolutely fantastic.
And the band live? Probably one of the best bands I've ever seen. They know their songs and you can tell they love to perform. You just can't help but dance to their music!! Plus, the guys themselves couldn't be more stellar!"
