Lockhart, a brand-new melodic rock outfit, are dropping their debut “City Pulse” this June via High Roller Records. The album lands on 6/12/2026 on CD, with the LP following on 7/3/2026!
You can already pre-order “City Pulse”.
Below you’ll find the album’s second single (and video), for the track Can’t Shake It. Earlier, Lockhart put out the single Together As None.
On “City Pulse” you’ll definitely pick up, among others, traces of Journey, Boston, Toto, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon and maybe even, hey, that’s what they say, Starcastle.
Tracks like “The Dose That Made You Poison,” “Under Fire,” “Before The Fall” or “Together As One” are carefully crafted and flawlessly executed. “For me, songwriting is a deliberate process,” explains the band’s vocalist Devon Kerr. “The song comes first, the lyrics come last. Then come hours and hours of detailing, especially shaping the choir harmonies, guitar solos and so on… Everything is proofread very carefully. There are no coincidences. You can hear that clearly on “City Pulse”,” Kerr adds.
On the guitar solos, the trio got a hand on the debut from Nick “Nikropolis” Poulos of crossover thrash metal outfit Municipal Waste, so even though City Pulse draws on the best moments of AOR, and at times even strays dangerously close to pop, there’s no reason to turn up your nose at this album.
The lineup also includes drummer Fabio Alessandrini, who over his career has played drums for, among others: Annihilator, Bonfire, Enforcer, Hardline, Raven, Rhapsody and Sunstorm.
