Victoria Anthony - Kinda Into You [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Victoria Anthony drops this fun Pop track about falling for that new person and admitting to them and herself that she is ‘Kinda Into You.’

A fun, relatable track with nice energy and hook you can sing along to after the first chorus. This is the kind of track that can take over and be the sound of a particular summer.

And what better way to kick off the coming summer, than by catching Victoria Anthony live at The Echo on May 14th. For those not in or around LA, check out her other tour dates.”

Kat Von D - Enough (Bat Cave Mix) [

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Kat Von D is an icon. Her reach has expanded far beyond the tattoo world and you never quite know where she will be making an impact next. For now you can enjoy her sultry tones at the mic where she is supported by Dave Grohl’s masterful drumming to bring her track, ‘Enough’ to your speakers. The track is all, about mood and vibe as is Kat Von D herself. ”

Ian J in Ya Mouth - Lipton Freestyle [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Ian J in Ya Mouth drops this freestyle vibe and delivers it with a pure shit talking inspired flow full of bombs and witty observations. The track has a light hearted vibe, but still packs a punch when called for.

Sharp writing, timely delivery, and confident attitude are the earmarks of this track which is simply a fun listen. Like talking trash with your friends, this one simply feels like a good time.”

Roet - Dad's Song[Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Losing a parent isn’t easy. Roet “Dad’s Song” expresses how the artist feels in the passing of this dad. Located in his home he shows us memories as he reveals to us his feelings. The song is short but you can feel and relate to him through his music.”

— Kreadiv Kesh [LA On Blogger]

“I didn’t set off to start a project about mental health. But shortly after starting Roet, I had three friends kill themselves in the span of about a year and half. Each time I felt like I couldn’t write about anything else and the way those songs gave an outlet to my friends that had lost a loved one quickly became important me. I’ve had my own experiences with depression, suicide attempts, family issues, you name it but I do feel like I’ve come out the other side of that (at least for now). So mental health is something I have a lot of opinions about and Roet has become my outlet for that, using my own life experience as the canvas to paint on.”

J. Graves - Valentine [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Taken purely as a standalone song, ‘Valentine’ is a treat for the senses. Portland’s, J. Graves has the talent and verve to pull of the track with attitude and talented flair, but you cant take this single on its solo merits alone. The [project is fun and unique as part of a musical, choose your own adventure thread. The video ends with a question and your answer will determine the next track and so forth down the line making the music truly interactive. ”

Cam Be x Peter Jericho - Cookin' [Music Video Review]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“ Summer and food is always a good vibe for me. The single “Cookin” adds musical flavor to a recipe. It gives you excitement to walk into a kitchen and cook even if it’s something as simple as a sandwich. The beat is very funky and retro but puts you in a mood to fully listen to the track and step foot into the kitchen. ”

GAYLE - luv starved [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4 out of 5

“GAYLE is back on the heels of her super hit, ‘ABCDEFU.’ This new track, ‘luv starved’ comes with the same emotive attitude, but brings a different vibe with a more low key performance rather than the in your face tact of the last single. GAYLE utilizes more nuance in the delivery, but that same vocal rasp and emotive passion comes through making it impossible to turn away from the performance. This track cements the talent and direction for a rising star and I can’t wait to witness the trajectory.”

#LAOnLockExclusive: Steve DaMar - Living Single [Music Video Review]

Rating: 5 out of 5

“I usually don’t like samples and remakes. However, these days some of the top hits are different versions of songs we heard long ago. The King Of Wordplay Steve DaMar serves us miscellaneous truth in lyrical form in his latest single “Living Single”. He uses the 90s “Living Single” intro to introduce us to his life and how he deals with not only living on his own but dealing with different decisions.

As an artist the only deals you try to make have to make sense and cents. DaMar explains this in his new visual and shows us the best decisions are usually the one’s you make on your own and the strongest relationship is the one you have with yourself.”

Dax - Dear Alcohol [Music Video Review]

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Dax is no stranger to visitors here at LA on Lock, and as long as he keeps putting out passionate music we will continue to share this videos and be fans. ‘Dear Alcohol’ is a slower tempo track with less anger and a more reflective emotional nature than many of Dax’s hard hitting singles, but that is not to say this song does land with its own force.

We all need to stop and take time to reflect on where we are emotionally at times, and this track is about that and the realization we often use alcohol or other things to hide from what’s really plaguing our minds. ”

Rating: 4 out of 5

“This track is a throwback in some ways, as the sound is reminiscent of the glory days of hair bands, but Alexis Gerred still manages to bring this energetic Rock anthem home with a contemporary vibe.

There are hints of Red Hot Chili Peppers to the arrangement and tempo, and the track is one that is simply hard to turn away from. A perfect add for your motivational playlists, or anytime you simply want to rock out. ”

REAVEN - Ordinary Heroes [Music Video Review]

Rating : 4 out of 5

“Have we all lost control of our own lives? Has social media taken over and pushed our dark sides to the forefront? Or are there some ‘Ordinary Heroes’ left that are not slaves to public perception?

These are the questions posed by REAVEN on their latest track and they are worthy ones to ask. This is an Indie Rock anthem that feels like both a protest and a wakeup call all the while offering solid entertainment and talent to back it up.”
