Sounds Like: "Lockgroove's dense, full-on sound invites comparison to Brian Eno's "Music for Airports" -- as performed by a fighter jet squadron." -- The Boston Globe
"Sonic alchemists of the highest order, Lockgroove write some of the most elastic, ebullient pop songs since Galaxy 500 and Spaceman 3, only louder... In short, they're the most astounding band to emerge from Boston in quite some time." -- The Boston Phoenix
"The band creates dense cosmic symphonies with layers of head feeding noise" --Spin
"There's nothing like a band that can rock a club with both visceral power and improvisational intelligence, which is what the young band Lockgroove has been all over town for the past year and a half. It has veered far from the path of predictability, and its energized, inventive music has frequently been compared to the likes of Spiritualized and Spaceman 3. But make no mistake, this act is a complete original." --Billboard
