   About The Headlocks
"These guys have a really amazing layered sound that is missing from a lot of new music nowadays... They have AMAZING VOCALS that are backed with a great group of instrumentalists....
One of the best things about this band is they have such an eclectic choice of music that they play... In one song you may hear rock mixed with folk mixed with a little soul sprinkled with some blues and it all sounds great mixed together"
__________________________________________Montrey, ____ EARMILK.com

"...a rowdy yet disciplined band of seasoned players
from blue-collar Staten Island [with] an authentic ’60s vibe
of collective creativity and ______ PURE MUSICAL JOY."
Timothy Ledwith, __Ledwithzeppelin, ___________NoDepression.com

"Over the past few years, The Headlocks have gained a name for themselves by playing ENERGETIC AND MELODICALLY PLEASING FOLK AND ROOTS ROCK all over the [New York] city"

The last time I was in a headlock it was by my ex girlfriend trying to hold me from a crate of Guinness..impossible..to defy the law of gravity...
