Closer 2 Closure was an emo acoustic-pop duo formed in 2005 by guitarist Titus Lockard and vocalist Kellin Quinn. The duo is best known for their poignant tracks, including “Running Never Helped Anyone” and the original version of “Let Love Bleed Red,” which later became a hallmark song for the band Sleeping with Sirens. 

Between 2005 and 2008, Closer 2 Closure recorded two albums: Their debut album, “Let’s Make Progress,” highlighted their unique talent for creating stripped-down music, featuring a single acoustic guitar layer alongside Quinn's evocative vocals for each track. Their sophomore effort, “In the Middle,” showcased a more polished production, as the duo began to explore blues-inspired melodies and embraced a pop-oriented sound.

Over the years, fans have diligently sought to compile the various tracks that the duo had shared across the internet. In 2024, nearly 20 years after the band's formation, many of the original recordings were rediscovered and subsequently remastered to be officially released in 2025. Let's Make Progress and In The Middle represent the two completed albums as they were originally intended during their early days. The collections feature higher-quality recordings than those previously available online, along with several unheard tracks that have been lost to time until now.

Currently working on DJ training courses. Doin' it proper...from square one. I've got goals to earn my keep in 2021 as a mobile dj. For now practice is the name of my game. I adore everything drums & percussion, 80's & 90's Hip-Hop, funk, scratch sounds, golden guitar riffs, souled out vocals, diggin thru crates. I am always working on mixing more creatively listening to the nicest DJ's on the wheels of steel, collecting rare vinyl are a part of my trade. I aspire to collect more 45's, what else is there to say...I love spinning wax!
