Deadlock UK formed as Deadlock way back in 1979 in Aldershot, gigged for a couple of years and then went their separate ways. Fast forward to 2012 and they got back together with the intention of recording their old songs (which had previously only existed on a few home made cassettes). Things went well and they got back to regularly gigging and also writing new material.
Last month saw the release, 37 years after they first got together, of their debut album. Called Speeding Along, it's available on Deadlock Punk and you can check it out here : http://deadlockpunk.bandcamp.com/.
Featuring Fez (vocals), Paul Denison (guitar), Richie Nice (bass) and Sully (drums), they've added the UK to their name to avoid confusion with a German melodic death metal band and they've put out a shiny new video for the title track from the album. This is Speeding Along.....
Same old boring everyday
Jumped in my car to get away
Highway driving I felt fine
Speeding along I had plenty of time
Thought I’d turn my radio on
But all I got was a disco song
Reached and moved the dial along
But all I got was Jimmy Young
Speeding along with my radio on...
Gave that dial another twist
But all I got was Brahms and Liszt
Thinking this was pretty bad
Capital Radio driving me mad
Turned it on to LBC
Where news comes first but not for me
Switched it to the Long Waveband
Some DJ I can’t understand
Speeding along with my radio on...
Turned that dial a little more
On the air it’s Radio Four
Programmes on the arts and mime
Politics and story time
Thought I’d put the FM on
Police transmission coming on strong
A speeding car APB
Then I sussed that car was me
Speeding along with my radio on...
