Feature Records announced today the re-issue of Locksley’s self-released debut album Don’t Make Me Wait which will contain two exclusive new bonus tracks. The record will hit the streets via Fontana Distribution on September 9, 2008.
The re-issue of Don’t Make Me Wait is a true testament to the band’s longevity. Self-released in 2007, the band took the true D.I.Y approach and were able to land highly coveted spots on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live as well as placement of their hit single My Kind Of Lover in J.J. Abrams’ much anticipated Cloverfield.

Without the support of a major label system the band was able to accomplish unprecedented success based on the merit of their songwriting. In 2007 they were awarded such honors as composing Why Can’t I Be You for the MTV show of the same name and the tracks music video also won MTVU’s The Freshman. The band has already been chosen by MTV as a future Artist of The Week for mid September in support of the re-release of Don’t Make Me Wait.
Adding fuel to the fire the band has spent the last year touring extensively and sharing the stage with artists like The Hives, The Rapture, We Are Scientists, The Dandy Warhols and others. Locksley is currently on the road with Rooney throughout the summer and will be hitting the studio in the fall to record their sophomore follow up.

Combining the melody, harmony and songwriting ethos of the 60's with the performance sensibilities and work ethic of modern garage and emo bands.
Comprised of Jesse Laz (vocals/guitar), Kai Kennedy (lead guitar/vocals), Aaron Collins (bass, vocals) and Sam Bair (drums), Locksley have achieved more as an unsigned band in the last year than most major label acts will in a career.
After releasing a 5-song E.P. in summer 2005, Locksley were labeled 'the show to see' by the New York Daily News, one of Alternative Press' best unsigned bands in the country and a Billboard Magazine 'Hot New Artist', in addition to rave reviews in Metrolite UK and on the popular You Ain't No Picasso blog.
On the heels of their success in the print media, Locksley secured a deal with STARZ movie channel in which the network funded and shot a music video for the song "Don't Make Me Wait" which was spliced with clips of upcoming major motion picture releases and released on all Starz channels to promote their OnDemand service. The success of the video led STARZ to secure the band to open the festivities at the USTA’s (United States Telecommunications Association) annual TelecomNext Conference in Las Vegas.
More recently, the songs "She Does" and "Don't Make Me Wait" were featured in two major national television spots for Payless Shoes, which aired in primetime slots during Project Runway, America’s Next Top Model and the season finale of Lost. Afterwards, Locksley were commissioned to pen the theme song for a new MTV series "Why Can't I Be You?" currently airing everyday on MTV. A video for the song is featured throughout the network and plays in credit squeezes after the show. Based on overwhelming support from fans the video recently won MTVU’s “The Freshmen” against four other major label bands and, as a result, will enter full rotation starting on August 14th, 2006.
While Locksley's songs have been embraced by advertisers and critics, it is their blistering live performances that have earned them their rabid fanbase, the result of which has been three highly successful tours (two U.S., one U.K.), a gig as the house band for world-famous CBGB and over 10,000 copies of their EP in circulation. Not to mention opening slots for the likes of She Wants Revenge, We Are Scientists, Scissors For Lefty, OkGo, Damone, John Vanderslice and the Dandy Warhols.
The coming months, which will see the release of their first LP: Don't Make Me Wait, will also find Locksley featured in the December 2006 issue of Self Magazine and opening on various tour dates for both the Rapture and the Killers. They remain unsigned.
Locksley. yeah, rock.
