Since their inception in 2019, the Copenhagen four-piece Loksmith has borrowed from many genres, though always with one common denominator: Rock. Loksmith lean on their inspirations — among which are Deftones, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Avenged Sevenfold — and their sound is recognisable for its dynamic jumps, melancholic vocals, and intense rhythms.

A Loksmith concert is an intense experience. The shows they put on radiate personality, and you feel exactly who Loksmith are and what they want to do with music from the moment the first song is counted in: Love the moment. In 2021 the band debuted on the Danish live scene by getting to the Danish finale of Emergenza Festival, a European music competition. Since then, Loksmith have played sold-out concerts at Rust and Råhuset in their home city, but also branched out to Tobakken, Esbjerg and even Patricja in Stockholm.

In 2025, Loksmith released their debut album “Lanterns”, wherein they navigate alt-metal and post-rock on a live recording produced by Mikkel Lyneborg, a new and rising name in the Danish music industry. Before the album came the EP “The Issue”, produced with Peter Brander (Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Big Fat Snake), as a softer progenitor to Loksmith’s progressive sound.
