about

No shows, no practices, not seeing each other for five months but having started the band with distance as a conquerable boundary, Locked Inside looked at quarantine as an opportunity to try doing things differently... again.

With just enough audio scruples between them, they set out to start demoing new songs remotely, sending tracks back and forth as face to face collaboration in NYC is still deemed unsafe. With drummer Vinny Panza taking the controls and choosing fight over flight, they managed to put together a recording of Force Of Will, a track they debuted at New York City's legendary A7 Club in December.

Missing none of the fidelity and power of their last record and with a DIY approach, the band has managed to keep the ship moving forward with new material at a time when doing so has seemed impractical if not impossible.

lyrics

Tormented mind
And a tortured soul
Nowhere to turn
Yeah you’ve lost all control
No solution
No end in sight
Lost your will
To continue to fight

I’ve been down
That path before
Silent screams
And cold locked doors
Looked inside
For the strength I need
Force of will
Imprisoned mind
Was freed

Turn to yourself
'Cause you’ve nothing to lose
World turned its back
And you feel so confused

Faith in yourself and
You’re never alone
Answers found
Within you

SHEER FORCE OF WILL
Power inside to
STAND UP AND FIGHT

SHEER FORCE OF WILL
The power inside

FORCE OF WILL
Inside
FORCE OF WILL
Your mind (X4)

Believe in yourself

STAND UP AND FIGHT

Turn to yourself
'Cause you’ve nothing to lose
World turned its back
And you feel so confused

Faith in yourself and
You’re never alone
The power lies within you
The power inside

It's just a banger from start to finish. Old school hardcore in the youth crew tradition. Lyrical positivity. Music that lifts you up. Keep 'em coming. wasclafton

Having seen them 3 times in the 80s, (including opening for the Bad Brains at the Living Room) this was a must get. Still holds up. They were already evolving into their own sound by now, kind of like R.I.'s answer to Dagnasty. t0rqreturn2019
