   About Jim Lockey

One day in February, we set up our kit and 4 microphones in a room, pressed record on a tape machine and a couple hours later had these songs to show you. They're all taken from our forthcoming album 'Atlases', which should be out in July through istartedthefire. Since supporting the likes of Frank Turner, Mumford & Sons, and Chris T-T, appearing at Two Thousand Trees and Wychwood Festivals, and performing instore at independent record stores, we have now focused our attentions on writing the follow up to last year's "I'll Be Neon".
This year looks to be a busy one, so join the mailing list and we'll keep you updated.
thanks for stopping by.
JL&tSS

Here's what some nice people have said about us.

'We predict the folk acts of 2009' "Fresh-faced Lockey's lyrics show more maturity than his years would suggest and after freely admitting that he's a big fan of Frank Turner, the lyrical comparison are easy to spot. Lockey, though, is far from a carbon copy with the influence of indie music shining through in his work. He's a great place to start if you're looking to crossover to listening to folk music and he should be one to look out for in 2009". www.virtualfestivals.com

Hey,
I was buying Frank Turners CD in rise and this guy (I assume a friend of yours) suggested listening to you.
Really like your style of music, and its even cooler that you're local too!
Also, can you tell me where the poppy field in "the shire" album is? I really need to find one for my photography project..
Keep up the good work man :)
