CD Review: Locksley
Last month I made my 5-year-old daughter a mix CD of Beatles songs that span their entire career. I quickly noticed that she kept hitting the repeat button after the early tunes, like She Loves You and A Hard Day's Night, with all their hand claps, harmonies, and jangly guitars.
So she's a little Beatlemaniac now, but it's not necessarily the band she cares about... It's the sound.
I love that early 60's, British Invasion sound too, and am always interested when a modern band tries to imitate it. Most of the time they come off sounding like just another tribute group.
That's not the case with Brooklyn-based band Locksley. Their debut CD, Don't Make Me Wait, is an irresistible blend of power pop and Mersey Beat that sounds totally fresh and exciting. This is not kids' music. It's everybody music. Joyfully uncomplicated toe-tapping tunes that are just plain fun.
My family highly recommends Locksley!
Have a listen:
Locksley - "The Past And The Present"

Our three year old is really into The Beatles as well. Her favorite songs are "Hello, Goodbye", "Penny Lane", and "And Your Bird Can Sing".
Locksley is good stuff, I dig them. A friend of mine that lives in Brooklyn told me about them.
We have also been digging the band The Kooks a lot at our house.
