Texas Metal Veterans LOCKJAW Announce New Single “We Won’t Back Down” and Upcoming Texas Tour

Fort Worth, TX – Texas metal warriors Lockjaw are ready to strike back. The band has officially announced their next single, “We Won’t Back Down,” set to drop December 4, 2025 , alongside the kickoff of their Everything is Heavier in Texas Tour . Fans can expect an explosive return, with a fist-raising anthem built for anyone tired of lies, corruption, and division.

Musically, the track promises massive guitars, thunderous drums, and soaring choruses that hit like a hammer. Lyrically, it calls out deception, rallies strength, and refuses to be silenced.

“The song is an anthemic war cry against the lies we’ve been told by our own government — the one we’re supposed to trust,” says guitarist Jeff Ogle. “It’s about standing your ground, calling out corruption, and refusing to back down.”

Everything is Heavier in Texas Tour

Lockjaw will join Upon A Burning Body as special guests, with main support from The Browning , plus local support in each city. The tour kicks off December 4, 2025, in San Antonio, TX at Vibes Underground and will deliver a full-throttle Texas metal takeover across multiple cities.

New Drummer, Fresh Fire

Lockjaw are proud to welcome Alex Hamp (War of Ages) as their new drummer. Known for world-class precision and high-energy performances, Alex adds a fresh punch to Lockjaw’s relentless sound.

“Having Alex behind the kit has been a game changer,” says Jeff Ogle. “The chemistry clicked right away — it feels like he’s been part of Lockjaw from day one.”

Lockjaw Lineup:

Jeff Ogle – Guitar

Joe Ortiz – Vocals

Gabriel Ayala – Bass

Scott Letz – Drums

Justin Paul – Lead Guitar

Alex Hamp – Drums

Lockjaw continue to carve their path in metal with blistering intensity, emotional weight, and raw defiance. Fans of Machine Head, Slipknot, and Stone Sour can expect nothing less than a full-throttle, fist-raising experience.
