Right on the heels of their previous single that I reviewed, “Kitchen Light”, Rocket Steadman are back with a new skalicious single, “Lockdown” both of which are off their forthcoming album And We Have Lift Off and makes me what to skank and pick it up as much as the last one!

The song starts with a dope ass bass line, with some playful cymbal work before the whole band comes in with a full on two-tone style ska sound. As the first has me dancing I can’t help but notice that rad little guitar noodling that happens here and there just to add to joy I’m already feeling. Then the punk rock chorus comes in to get the circle pit though moving followed by a new verse that really swings and make me want to sing along and dance my ass off.

Dig the double bass drums and the trombone solo is killer.

Can’t wait for the full length come out!

This is great for fans of Reel Big Fish, Operation Ivy, The Aquabats!, Mustard Plug, Streetlight Manifesto
