No Fate

Erupting from every direction with a barrage of rapid-fire drumming, crunching dual guitars, and aggressive, striking vocals, it's instantly apparent that Lock and Key is well on their way...not only album-wise, but as a cohesive, single-minded, rock n' roll wrecking machine. Still, even in their most aggressive tracks, Lock And Key's true foundation lies in sincerity. Their ability to mesh ferocity with tried and true melodic sensibilities immediately ignites, engulfs and absorbs the listener. Songs like "Crutches" begin with an ominous strain, exhibiting the band's range from tense to emotive to explosive in less than four minutes time. It's impossible not to become invested in the infectious hooks of "No Fate," which says a lot for a group characterized by their sheer volume. Lock And Key will proceed as usual: with thoughtfulness, honesty, and passion...at about four thousand miles per hour. We'll continue to watch as Lock And Key evolves, but now it's time for the rest of the world to pay their respects. Recorded by Ethan Dussault (Garrison, On The Might Of Princes, The Lot Six). An incredible debut released April 2004. For fans of HUSKER DU and SMALL BROWN BIKE.
