LOCKED SHUT

Since their inception, Locked Shut has been on a meteoric rise, earning recognition for their electrifying take on modern hardcore, reminiscent of genre heavyweights like Turnstile and Comeback Kid. Their distinctive sound and powerful performances have already caught the attention of hardcore listeners, solidifying their reputation as a band to watch. "TOOTHACHE," their latest single, explores the raw and visceral pain implied by its title. The song reflects on how the discomfort of a toothache parallels the challenge of distancing oneself from toxic relationships. It’s about confronting and addressing pain directly, much like dealing with difficult situations head-on for a better outcome. Locked Shut is also gearing up for the release of their debut LP, "THE NEW CHAOS," set to drop on August 23rd, 2024. This highly anticipated album promises to deliver the aggressive and captivating experience fans have come to expect, pushing the boundaries of hardcore and setting the stage for Locked Shut's next chapter.
