Louisville KY Alt-Duo Feral Vices Take On Abusive Religious Systems On New Single "Lock & Key"
“Lock & Key” weaponizes the fuzzy guitars, danceable drum grooves, and catchy vocal hooks of bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Jesus Lizard, and Refused to take aim at the abusive and exploitative religious systems lead vocalist Alexander Hoagland grew up in. Despite its heavy lyrical content, “Lock & Key” is almost defiantly catchy, offering up an anthemic chorus bound to get caught in your head over and over again."- Tuned Up

Lead vocalist and guitarist Alexander Hoagland says, "'Lock & Key' is about the abusive religious systems that I think a lot of us grew up in where leaders were taking advantage of their positions for money, power, sex, or some combination of those. Being in that world, you're taught that this is a blessing or that is a blessing when in reality you're being taken advantage of and are forced to experience the evils of it alone because once you start tugging at the strings of that, the whole system falls apart. It's a very hard and lonely place to be even though you're surrounded by people and I think that makes it even harder to get out of or acknowledge the reality of. So, this song was my way of talking about that and processing it for myself."
As a two-piece alternative rock band out of Louisville, KY, Feral Vices has created a sound and feel all their own. Drawing from influences ranging from Queens of the Stone Age to Refused to The Jesus Lizard and even The Dillinger Escape Plan, lead singer and guitarist Alexander Hoagland and drummer Justin Cottner bring a feel to the world of two-piece bands not yet well tread. Constantly touring and releasing new music, the prolific duo has earned spots on the stage with bands like Four Year Strong, Microwave, Save Face, and more. As well as having their song "Mass Produce Your Revolution" as the end credits to the Scott Adkins and Ray Stevenson film "Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday", Feral Vices is a band to keep an eye on.
