"Locked In": The Harbours’ Anthemic Ode to Youthful Love



The Harbours’ latest single, "Locked In", captures the essence of youthful romance with a raw, emotive energy that instantly hooks listeners. The Leicestershire-based duo, Ollie Drakard and Will Massarella-Tyler, have seamlessly blended indie rock with pop sensibilities, creating a sonic landscape that feels both fresh and familiar. Their infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics paint a vivid picture of longing, naivety, and desire, drawing listeners into a reflective journey through the complexities of young love.


The track kicks off with a punchy bassline that lays the foundation for a steady drumbeat, setting the tone for what's to come. As the tempo rises, a surge of electric guitars bursts through, driving the energy forward. Ollie’s vocals enter with a youthful, almost wistful tone, blending smoothly with the instrumental backdrop. There’s a natural flow to the arrangement, reminiscent of indie rock giants like "The 1975" and "Catfish and the Bottlemen", yet the duo’s unique twist keeps the song fresh and engaging.


Lyrically, "Locked In" delves into the vulnerability of love, with lines like “I’m holding to my feelings / Just searching for the one” resonating deeply. The honesty of the songwriting shines through, balancing the simplicity of youthful emotion with a more mature reflection on relationships. It’s a track that invites listeners to sing along, especially with its catchy chorus that carries an anthemic quality. The Harbours prove their ability to craft music that not only entertains but connects on a personal level.


For a band that only formed in 2024, The Harbours are quickly carving out a space for themselves in the indie scene with "Locked In". The production, led by Drakard and Massarella-Tyler, alongside the mixing of Ed Ripley, ensures a polished sound while retaining the raw, unfiltered energy that makes this track stand out. Whether you’re a fan of indie rock or just looking for a summer anthem, "Locked In" is a track that will have you hooked from start to finish.
