Lockman

...Where art house meets juke joint.

About Me

There is a fine line between modern and rootsy rock. Lockman is there, just there. We are not afraid of the blues and the country, but we love indie-rock and especially NYC punk. So we are the missing link between Bo Diddley and Television - interesting Fender interventions, juicy riffs, and bouncy basslines backed by drum fills you would never expect. Check us out and tell us how we sound!
