BRITISH FOUR-PIECE CREATES EXPLOSIVE ALTERNATIVE ROCK
Led by brothers Finn and Conor Keogh, and joined by drummer Oli Spackman and guitarist Jimmy Lanwern, Keo traces its roots to Plymouth, Portugal, Ireland, and the US, but has since settled in England. Their music is an urgent, sometimes furious burst of alternative rock, with Finn’s raw vocals and sharp, reflective lyrics building patiently toward an emotional release. Bridging the gap between ’90s grunge, shoegaze, and alternative rock, the band cites influences such as Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, and The Smashing Pumpkins, while drawing contemporary inspiration from acts like Wunderhorse and Fontaines D.C.
