Erupting from a frenzied passion for the ‘song’, Keg toe a fine line between the angular throb of contemporary post-rock sensibilities and a timeless necessity for harmony and meticulous songwriting. Taking hints and tips from their forebears Minutemen, Fugazi and Radio 4 the band intend to confound genre, but mainly stick to the rock arena.
Armed with 7 musicians, Keg creates a frantic chaotic energy. Barbed guitars, wonky synth lines, peppered with trombone, and a glimpse into a confused man’s brain. The band rarely rest easy on one approach, equally happy to explore a college rock sound as a hardcore one. Its this indecision which leads Keg to continue to push their sound further, delving into ambient landscapes and melodic songwriting.
It is the live arena, where KEG is understood best, they’ve earnt their stripes at Greenman (Big Top), Latitude (Sunrise Arena), Sur Le Sac (CH), Sacred Ground (DE), End of The Road (Big Top), Dour Festival (BE), Vida Festival (ES) and built a loyal following of fans across the UK and Europe.
The band have released two critically acclaimed EPs ‘Assembly’ (2021) and ‘Girders’ (2022), garnering attention from Loud and Quiet, NME, Dork, So Young and support from BBC radio 6 and Radio X. DIY are real champions of the band, awarding them a slot in their prestigious Class of 2023.
They return with their anxiously awaited debut ‘Fun’s Over’ early 2025, and the chaos will ensue.
