Locked out from the Inside is the third studio album by Manchester-based alternative rock band Nine Black Alps, released on October 5, 2009. The album was released digitally with the purchase of tour tickets on August 6, 2009. The album was released on the band's own Lost House Records label. Locked Out from the Inside was preceded by the single "Buy Nothing" (which included the only b-side "Never Wonder Why"). The album was recorded at Bryn Derwen Studios in Bethesda, Gwynedd, North Wales with producer Dave Eringa. Vocalist and guitarist Sam Forrest describes the album as: really enjoyable and instinctive. He’s a brilliant producer who kept us thoroughly entertained and didn’t try and get us to jump through any hoops; he listened to us and helped us get the record we wanted. We spent two weeks recording it in a little studio in North Wales and it was one of my favourite experiences of being in the band: there wasn’t any stress from outside or any expectations to sell a million records.
