About Me

All rights reserved. Mum Locked In Castle. Copyright 2009.
We are a band built from the same society as you
We've been played on BBC Suffolk/York/Humberside/Essex/6/Leeds and on some Uni stations over the UK and US.
Our debut EP "Vultures" is out now on iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody and Emusic, however we recommend purchasing it straight from us as we have lovely digipaks with artwork from the lovely Sonny Kay (GSL, Mars Volta), if you want one send us a email or message on here.
The EP has had some nice words said about it...
'I can't liken your music to anything, which is why I like it' Stuart Morrison, Insomnia Radio UK www.insomniaradio.co.uk
'It's like a metalised less smacked up version of leftover crack, with more riffs and a singer that can actually sing' Andrew Culture, Editor Beat Motel www.beatmotel.co.uk
“Vultures leaps effortlessly between everything from Incubus-like funk metal to a dirty groove that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Cancer Bats record” A Short Fanzine About Rocking Issue 23 www.myspace.com/ashortfanzineaboutrocking
4 1/2 out of 5 from Leeds Music Scene, read tyhe full review here.... http://www.leedsmusicscene.net/article/10330/
‘MLIC are what Incubus would sound like were they to develop a sleazy sense of humour’ www.myspace.com/lightsgooutpunkzine
