Lockstep is a Nashville based band pulling elements from shoegaze, doom and heavy rock. They’ve built a sound rooted in atmosphere and weight, moving between quiet, uneasy moments and crushing walls of noise. With each release, the band has tightened their approach—cutting excess and focusing on impact.

Their debut full-length, »I Know What I Saw«, out July 24th through Profound Lore Records stands as the band’s most focused and complete statement to date. Following the release of several singles (their last being the »Drag Along« single from 2025), their Arrival EP from 2023, and already having a decent number of shows and tours under their belt (notable past tours include runs with Prize horse and Gumm), »I Know What I Saw« leans into massive, slow-burning riffs and dense, layered guitars that stay engaging without letting up, locking into sections that feel both hypnotic and suffocating. Songs stretch and build with purpose, pulling listeners deeper into the band’s world while keeping a constant sense of tension and release. It’s the clearest and most realized version of Lockstep yet.

Pre-order »I Know What I Saw« HERE.

»I Know What I Saw« was recorded by Zac Montez at Welcome to 1979 in Nashville, TN, mixed by Matt Schumacher, and mastered by Nick Townsend.
