Lockjaw’s latest single is a cover of Garbage’s debut track “Vow,” showcasing a shift from Medavon DeRaj’e’s recent politically charged themes. This aggressive rendition broadens the original’s message of retaliation against abuse. Featuring drummer Ken Pillar and former guitarist Jose Ramirez, the cover comes as Lockjaw forms a new lineup. This is their third release of 2025, following “We Are Alien” and “Eyes Closed.” Meanwhile, Garbage is gearing up for the release of their eighth studio album, Let All that We Imagine Be the Light, and a North American tour to promote it.
Given the legacy of the original "Vow," how do you think contemporary bands like Lockjaw can reinterpret classic tracks while maintaining their own identity?
