Lockhart, a brand-new melodic rock outfit, will drop their debut “City Pulse” on High Roller Records this June. The album lands on 6/12/2026 on CD, and the LP follows on 7/3/2026.
You can already pre-order “City Pulse”.
Below you’ll find the first single from the album (and the video) for the track Together As None.
On »City Pulse« you’ll definitely pick up influences from Journey, Boston, Toto, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, and maybe even, well, 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, and the lyrics come last. Then come hours and hours of fine-tuning, especially the choir harmonies, guitar solos and so on… Everything is scrutinized to the last detail. Nothing is left to chance. You can hear that clearly on »City Pulse«,” adds Kerr.
On the guitar solos, the trio got a hand on the debut from Nick “Nikropolis” Poulos of crossover thrash metal crew Municipal Waste. So even though City Pulse draws on the best moments of AOR and at times wanders dangerously close to pop territory, this album is not one to mess with.
The lineup also includes drummer Fabio Alessandrini, who over his career has played the drums for, among others: Annihilator, Bonfire, Enforcer, Hardline, Raven, Rhapsody and Sunstorm.
