Mike Vera once said, "Sometimes you just gotta eat shit." Everyday since then I've learned the true meaning of that statement.

This summer's tour w/ Movers and Shakers wil be our last tour. We'd like to thank everyone who has been involved with us over the past 5 years because this last tour is not only for us, it is for you all.

We've been playing with JT on bass since last fall but we've recently added Nick of Smoke or Fire fame on drums. So look out for our new rhythm section as well as a few new songs.

When we return home from tour we hope to get our final album recorded and released in some way or another. In conjuction with that release we hope to do a final show at home in Boston.

We'll keep you all updated, and look out for future projects from all of us!
Thank you all so much,
-Lock and Key

The tour dates listed above are a tentative schedule for a summer tour with our good friends from Boston, Movers and Shakers. Any and all help booking us in any of the cities (or surrounding areas) listed as "HELP" would be huge. Please forward the dates to anyone you know who books shows in your area and feel free to message us with any questions or comments.

See you guys soon!

We just finished recording 3 of 13 new songs. We've been working on these new songs for a while now, hopefully you guys like them as much as we do. We can't wait to get to work with a new label and hit the road again. Please contact us if you like what you hear.

Thanks a ton to Ethan, Nick, and Alvan at New Alliance Audio. We couldn't have done it without you guys!

Click on the Videos section under our main pic to see a video our friend Morgan made of us recording demos at his studio in Watertown, MA.

We currently have a whole new full length written, a new bass player, and we'll be putting up high quality press photos and 3 new songs from the upcoming full length soon!

We are also actively seeking a new record label so get in touch if you like what you see/hear!

-Ryan

We've had a lot of requests for full song clips lately. I just wanted to let everyone know that we do have them at available at our purevolume page.

LOCK AND KEY @ PUREVOLUME

As of today I'm going to try to keep that page updated as well as this one and our website. Please let us know what you think!
