KEG

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 area.

Armed with 7 musicians, Keg create 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. It's this indecision which leads Keg to continue to push their sound further, delving into ambient landscapes and melodic songwriting.

Forming in Brighton in 2019, the band went on to release two critically acclaimed EPs Assembly (2021) and Girders (2022), with standalone singles ‘Quip Quash’ (2023) and ‘Michael Phelps’ (2024) also helping them garner attention from Loud and Quiet, DIY, CLASH, NME, DORK, So Young and support from BBC 6music and Radio X.
