LOCKED SHUT

A popular SoundCloud rapper who now fronts a hardcore band? Yes, and believe us: it hits hard. LOCKED SHUT is a hardcore band from Columbia, Missouri, formed in 2023. Frontman Alex Kelly is also known for his successful solo career as Oliver Francis. The band plays metallic hardcore with a heavy Midwest style: fast, heavy and straightforward. Their debut album, “The New Chaos”, came out in 2024, and fans have been happily playing tracks like “Steel Spine” and “Me vs. a Brick Wall” on repeat. Their popularity keeps growing, and they completely sold out their first UK tour in the fall of 2026, with fans already demanding that they visit mainland Europe as well. Live, the shows are dirty, hard-hitting and full of that underground hardcore vibe. Expect a loud, raw set with no filter at all. This “new” chaos is coming to Jera On Air 2027, and you don’t want to miss it. So get them on your priority list!
