LOCKHART – No Chance (2022) HQ

LOCKHART is new outfit formed by three young ’80s freaks with the aim to bring band the true AOR sound. Devon; vocals, guitar, synths, Jason; bass, and Fabio on drums are musicians still in their twenties, but their love for the music created 35 years ago are deep in their hearts.
Well, that’s a joke from the band, as the musicians behind are experienced musicians; Devon Kerr (any relation to the Kerr brothers of Urgent?), Fabio Aleeandrini (Bonfire / Hardline) and Jason Junop (Caudron / Goathorn).
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, LOCKHART are presenting their debut EP ”No Chance”: only 3 songs for the moment – there’s an album in the making – but none of the 3 tracks are duds, experimenting, or trying to sound modern to appeal rock radio – nope, all these are pure synth-driven midtempo AOR numbers with that 1987-1988 magic all over.
LOCKHART play real instruments, no samples here, and while self-managed, the results in production are good.

They still need to polish things of course, and finding a record label whom help with the recording, mixing, mastering, etc, would help a lot. I’m sure after hearing ”No Chance” many will be interesting to sign up these guys.
Long Live AOR!
