Timeless songs and a contagious youthful optimism are the foundations of Wisconsin raised, Brooklyn based, Locksley, who have achieved more as an unsigned band in the last year than most major label acts will in a career.
This album received a 4/5 from Alternative Press in their December 2006 issue and led them to herald Locksley one of the best unsigned acts in the country. The band was honored as "one of the 25 best bands on MySpace" (out of 1700 nominated) by Rolling Stone and earlier the songs "She Does" and "Don't Make Me Wait" were licensed for two Payless Shoes national television spots.
MTV quickly recognized the band's potential using Locksley's "Why Can't I Be You (Why Not Me)" as the theme for a new show on the network. The video for the song (funded by MTV, a first) beat out other major label artist's videos in MTVU's the Freshmen, based on fan votes, and was placed in rotation on MTV and MTVU, making Locksley the only unsigned band with this distinction.
The band has completed two full US tours and one UK tour, playing with OkGo, We Are Scientists, The Dandy Warhols, and The Rapture along the way. The coming months will see an MTV exclusive digital release of the album featuring the band on the main page of MTV.com as well as increased Locksley appearances, opening for The Killers and The Rapture, performing on various late night shows, in an 8 page photo layout in ELLE magazine, and as a featured artist in SPIN.
