    London’s premiere spooky folk-blues troubadours LOCKS release their highly anticipated
    new EP, Tall Tales with the lead track JARS

    Following a covid enforced hiatus LOCKS have returned with some of their strongest
    music to date. The Tom Waits-esque stomp of JARS uses gory imagery, rattled chains and
    an unnerving staccato riff to conjure a feeling of an undead cabaret performing in a dimly
    lit London club.

    Tall Tales is a short 4 track sampling of what’s to come next. The band have taken a slight side-step from murder ballads and have compiled a collection of songs revolving around themes of deception, betrayal, revenge and, of course, death.

    LOCKS are:
    L. Geary-Griffin - Vox & Guitars
    M. McClenaghan - Fiddle
    A. Marvell - Drums & Percussion
    M. Byrne - Double Bass

    Recorded at Space Echo East by Alex McGowan
    Released via Out Of The Woods Records.

lyrics

Don’t go looking for love where there’s none boy.
Don’t you know? Can’t you see? You’re the last bite for me.
Don’t go picking up stones just to throw boy.
I’m the last of the pack; I’ll be the wolf on your back.

I found a house in New Orleans
Stripped it down and bled it clean
I took the bones buried them outside.
In the garden round the back,
Please grab the axe from the Cadillac
Dig a ditch by the lilies in the yard. Oh God…

Don’t go digging up graves just for fun boy.
I’m the best of the worst; you’re the last of the cursed.
Don’t go looking for tricks where we hid them.
In the room at the front, In that old antique trunk.

I found a house in New Orleans
Stripped it down and bled it clean
I took the bones buried them outside.
In the garden round the back,
Please grab the axe from the Cadillac
Dig a ditch by the lilies in the yard.

Grab the bones from the old wardrobe
Please don’t be scared of what’s under the bed
Try to find the last light of the day.
Bring it in when it all goes dark,
Please quit that game with the Devils heart,
‘Cause I swear at the start she said she didn’t really want to play.
She didn’t really want to play...
