Lockhart - City Pulse

Lockhart is a new melodic rock/AOR band from Canada, fusing synthesizer-fueled '80s arena rock with classic hard rock. The trio consists of Devon Kerr (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Jason Junop (bass), and Fabio Alessandrini (drums). Jason is best known for his work with Cauldron and Goat Horn. Devon's main band is Axxion, while Fabio plays-or has played-in Bonfire, Enforcer, Annihilator, Hardline, and many others. Lockhart released their debut EP, No Chance, in 2022, followed by the single City Pulse in 2025. The band has since signed with High Roller Records, and their first full-length album, City Pulse, is ready to be unleashed upon the public. It's hard to describe Lockhart's specific sound in detail, but City Pulse clearly showcases influences from Journey, Boston, Toto, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, and perhaps even Starcastle. Tracks such as The Dose That Made You Poison, Under Fire, Before the Fall, and Together as None are well constructed and flawlessly performed.
