Jim Lockey And The Solemn Sun - New NativesJim Lockey And The Solemn Sun – New Natives

Cheltenham four piece Jim Lockey And The Solemn Sun are one of the hardest working bands on the Xtra Mile Recordings roster at the moment as they are constantly on the road touring, they finished their own headline tour in February and quickly jetted off to America to support The Dropkick Murphys and as soon as that comes to an end they will be back in the UK for an April headline tour and to coincide with all this touring they have just released their new single ‘New Natives’.

‘New Natives’ is taken from the bands second album ‘Death’ and was released on St Patricks day when they played The House Of Blues venue alongside The Dropkick Murphys and I really couldn’t think of a more appropriate time for the song to be released as the song is all about being new in a foreign land, musically the song is everything you would expect from a folky punk rock song, as the song gets going it becomes quite fast and heavy yet it is the catchy nature of the chorus which instantly makes ‘New Natives’ a killer track which I understand is even better when played live.

There has been a lot of hype surrounding Jim Lockey And The Solemn Sun for some time now and with the release of ‘New Natives’ it is so easy to see why.

4/5
