The Red Locks is a genre-bending power trio consisting of songwriting team, veteran Chicago musicians DJ Privileged (Virga Trollyp), Leah Al-Uqdah (Off The Radar, Another Pretty Lush), and their 14-year-old son, percussion savant David Henry Pospiech.

Al-Uqdah's wide vocal range is frequently compared to David Lee Roth and Bjork.  Her sugar sweet pop timbre provides a powerful blend of modern pop, hip hop, and arena rock.

Riding on a thick bed of trap bass, Privileged's explosive distorted guitar arpeggios and dreamy compositions are reminiscent of Smashing Pumpkins and Black Sabbath.  

Their attention to detail and the sheer musical potency of their unique sound has created a genre of their very own which they have labeled, Arena Dream Trap.
