Legs Up were a group of guys from Cleveland, Ohio, (and one guy from Phoenix, AZ) who had all relocated to Los Angeles in the late 80s chasing rock ‘n roll dreams. Local favourites for a few years, they eventually changed their name to Sledgehammer Ledge and released a sole, self-titled album in 1994.
Throughout their time, Legs Up released a myriad of demo tapes to the public. “Lock Your Door” is one of those demo songs and actually the only song from the Legs Up-era of the group to make it on to the Sledgehammer Ledge album. Great Hard Rockin’ Sleaze from one of the great unsungs of the scene on Sunset. Loud, Raw, Dirty, and Nasty! Musically, these guys can take-on the big boys no problem! Enjoy!
