SummerLock Approach
SummerLock Approach are an English Punk/Rock band (2007-present) from Sittingbourne, Kent.

(2008 - 2009)
The band orginally consisted of three memembers Nathan Rixson, guitar, Josh Gruitt, drums and Daniel Brincat, guitar. The band needed a singer and bassist, therefore they asked Matt Dobbie, vocals and Kasey Oldman, bass, to join. After rehearsing with Oldman and Dobbie, Oldman dropped out and they found a new bassist, James Randal. The first songs they rehearsed was Busted's 'Year 3000' and Green Day's 'American Idiot'.

(2009 - 2010)
After Oldman leaving the band, they started to look at covers that suit their sound and Dobbie's voice, rehearsing covers from Green Day, Blink 182, My Chemical Romance, The Darkness, Foo Fighters and many others. When their school, that the band members attended, held a talent competition called 'Fulston Factor' the boys auditioned and got through to play live at the school's annual Sixth Form's Christmas Dinner, as it was a free performance, the band played My Chemical Romance's 'Dead', SummerLock Approach came 1st Place against 4 other acts. They won a trophy which is still the possession of vocalist, Matt Dobbie. After winning 'Fulston Factor' Dan Brincat, decided he would leave the band to focus more on his studies, that was a major loss to SLA as Brincat was a very talented member of the band. They never found a replacement, Nathan Rixson who orginally played rythmn guitar, now was held reponsible for lead and rythmn. After Brincat leaving the band, Rixson, Dobbie, Randal and Gruitt all focused on doing more gigs and sounding better all together as a band. This resolved in The Gimme A Break Competition, Sittingbourne, a friend of the band suggested they enter to win £1,000 which would help the band for equipement to do more gigs, so they jumped at the chance. The band entered in 2010 and played four songs for a panel and a audience, they got through the semi finals, but unfortunatly did not make it further. There is an idea of SummerLock Approach entering in 2012.

(2011 - 2012)
SummerLock Approach continued to rehearse into 2011 and found that another opportunity to perform had come up. A local pub 'The Gore Court Arms' was looking for a band to play on the day of the Royal Wedding to celebrate. The boys played a full gig as a professional band and was inspired to do more pub gigs. Rixson was studying to be a Sound Technician at Mid Kent College, Gillingham, and found that as a part of his studies he needed to record and produce an album for a band - SummeLock Approach was his first choice. The Band recorded a 6 track album which was produced and mixed by Rixson - the album cover was designed by a friend of the band. Although the band has 4 members - there is no bass on the tracks as Randal failed to show due to work. This was not sold as a CD to the public, the band use it as a demo to find gigs and publish themselves. The other part to the project was for the band to play a live gig at the college. The band played a full hour's set infront of a full house - the gig was a great success. Considering all members of the band were coming to the end of their school term - Rixson and Gruitt decided that they wanted to go to University. The Band knew that they would struggle to find the time to rehearse. That concern was pushed to the side and they started to think about how to make themselves more noticed. Rixson, Gruitt and Dobbie, felt that Randal's performance in the band was not up to standard therefore they let him go. SummerLock Approach had no bassist and they were struggling to find one. The band had a small break due to members that were at university and too the end of 2011 - they found that a close friend of the band new a bassist. Claire Bone was introduced as the new bassist of SummerLock Approach. Having one female member especially as the bassist, made the band look uneven and they had the idea of asking a local singer to join the band, Ashleigh Kerrison. Kerrison performed at the Gimme Break Competition in 2009 and in 2010 and made it to the semi finals both times but failed to continue on, she has also performed as a soloist at many venue's such as 'The Gore Court Arms' and 'The Maypole' she is also scheduled to perform at a local charity event in the summer. This gave the band more depth to the songs and enabled them to do harmonies and add female songs to their repetoire. In 2012, Dobbie, Kerrison, Rixson, Bone and Gruitt have now started rehearsing as a 5 piece punk/rock band doing covers by Green Day, McFly, Blink 182, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Avril Lavigne and many others. They have also discussed writing there own material and playing more gigs.
