Locksley was formed in Madison, Wisconsin and is made up of brothers Jesse and Jordan Laz and longtime friends Kai Kennedy and Sam Bair. The band released \"Don\'t Make Me Wait\" in 2007 on their own Feature Records label. Considerable touring followed, including a stint as both the opener and backing band for Kinks legend Ray Davies, as well as performances on \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\" and \"Late Night With Conan O\'Brien\". They re-released their debut more broadly in 2008 to correspond with an MTV feature on the group and several high profile song placements, including the J.J. Abrams produced movie Cloverfield and a three-song RockBand pack. The group\'s penchant for melody and up-tempo, sing-a-long friendly songs has drawn comparisons to everyone from the Beatles and Kinks to the Cure and the Strokes. In September, they released Darling, It\'s True, the first single off their sophomore album, Be in Love due February 23, 2010.
********************************
"Murder Mystery is a pop band with a soul and a brain, expert at turning out catchy, hard-rocking, intelligent music in the mode of Nick Lowe, Magnetic Fields, or Talking Heads. There's isn't a single weak track on their self-released debut, Are You Ready for the Heartache Cause Here It Comes; the band's propulsive grooves reference everything from doo-wop to new wave, smoothly melded into their own unique style."
