 
Cheltenham four-piece Jim Lockey And The Solemn
Sun have had one hell of an year which has seen
them embark on a few headline tours across the
UK, support The Dropkick Murphys in America, play
T In The Park and 2000 Trees festival and also
release numerous amounts of singles and now they
are set to finish off the year with another Headline
tour of the UK aswell as the release of their
new single ‘Wilderness Of A Wild Youth’.
‘Wilderness Of A Wild Youth’ is quite
a soft and gentle song, yet it is the lyrics and
vocals from Jim Lockey which really draw you in
as his sings his heart out whilst the rest of
the band smoothly jam along in a solid way.
B-side ‘Forefathers’ is even more
stripped back than the main single and see’s
the band go down a raw acoustic route where the
vocals are big and in your face whilst the acoustic
guitar is played in such a way that you will be
wanting to head down to a beach camp fire on a
summer’s evening with your acoustic guitar
to play the songs of Jim Lockey And The Solemn
Sun with your friends.
Jim Lockey And The Solemn Sun are a great band
who clearly deserve all the success that has been
coming their way recently, 2014 will see the band
release their new studio album and I am sure the
likes of ‘Wilderness OF A Wild Youth’
and ‘Forefathers’ will keep the fans
pleased until then.
4/5
