KEO
Contact
Led by brothers Finn (vocals, guitar) and Conor Keogh (bass) and completed by drummer Oli Spackman and guitarist Jimmy Lanwern – Keo's origins trace back to Plymouth, Portugal, Ireland and the US - with the Keogh brothers spending their youth touring much of the UK, Ireland and the US in their father’s traditional Irish folk project.
Now rooted in London, the young four-piece have released new single "Fly" - recorded live to tape in March 2024 at 123 Studios in Peckham with Brett Shaw (Foals, Florence + The Machine).
Most recently, Keo took to the rainbow stage at BST Hyde Park with Kings Of Leon, The Vaccines and Paulo Nutini. Grabbing the attention of festival goers as they opened the stage for the day, and solidifying their spot as ones to watch in the alternative rock sphere.
An urgent, at times enraged blast of alternative rock, vocalist Finn's rasping delivery and his astute reflections on trust and toxic relationships all patiently build toward a cathartic release of emotion.
Bridging the gap between 90's grunge, shoegaze and alternative rock, the band note the influence of Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and The Smashing Pumpkins on their work, with further contemporary inspiration coming from acts including Wunderhorse and Fontaines D.C.
