Latchkey have released their third album titled "Head In The Clouds." This album follows the same sound and style the band has been doing on their previous two albums. They have a very 90's Alternative rock feel to them that has been lost over time. They have a similar sound to that of a Third Eye Blind or an Oasis, so if you are into those bands, you could like this album. It's not bad of an album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly decently and has a nice 90's sound to go along with it. The instrumentation is decent but nothing to get all hyped about, just solid playing. Now onto the vocals and the lyrics, the vocalist has an alright voice here that you can certainly tell what he is saying clearly. Now the vocals would be better if they were more up front but thats okay. He has a good voice for the style of rock he is singing. With the lyrics, the band chooses to sing songs with messages of having it hard to get things and having all you can handle. They also have song of being controlled and imagining what could be. These are message we think everyone can get behind here. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Under The Gun" your attention as it is the best song on the album and really shows you what the album is all about. Latchkey have made their third album to continue the trend up for this band. Although 90's rock is somewhat dead, they do a great job on it. Now all that needs to happen is more shows. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Latchkey - Don't Let Yourself Go

1. California
2. All The Time
3. Head On
4. Bedridden
5. Tangled Headphones

Latchkey have released their second album titled "Don't Let Yourself Go." This album continues on with the style and sound that the band showed off on their debut album but just a little more music for their sets. They have a pretty alternative sound that any rock fan can certainly get into, and that will really help them with the wide range of people their music can attract. They have done a pretty good job on this album. 

When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly well and has a nice sound to it. The instrumentation here is pretty average though, not to say it isn't good, just not flashy. 

Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are done pretty well, the singer can sing and his vocals are quite clear so you can hear every word, this is a nice thing. With the lyrics though, they could use a little bit more to give a more meaningful message to the song they are singing, just something that has a bit more substance and power. Overall they are not bad though. 

If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a  listen to get the feel of the album. 

Latchkey's second album is something that stays on the path they wanted and never veers. It has a nice feel to it that anyone can listen to, and for that we like it. Now all that is left is just getting out there and playing shows so others can get a taste. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Latchkey - Set The Setting

1. Misplaced

2. In A Blizzard's Rage

3. Indifference

4. This City

Latchkey have released their debut album titled "Set The Setting." This album is a mix of almost acoustic and alternative, which makes it a little hard because you don't know if its going to pick up too much for some people. They have done an alright job on it though. When looking at the recording quality of this album, they have done a pretty good job at getting a decent sound here. The instrumentation on this album is pretty average, which is expected though on a bands first album. Now onto the lyrics and the vocals, the lyrics could use some work to be more meaningful and the vocals could also use some tweaking to be more  in the right range at some spots. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen, or listen to the whole album as it is only four songs. Latchkey have done a good job on this album, hopefully they will progress and get better as they work on their crafts. We also hope the band plays more shows to get the name out there. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
