About
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. 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.
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.
Their debut album ‘Fun’s Over’ charted in the top 75 in the overall album charts, 10 in Record store charts and in the top 25 in Independent Album charts, received several 4/5 and 8/10 reviews including “Marks the beginnings of a group aiming for the big leagues” – Sound of Violence ★★★★
