KEG

Keg have been experimenting with their sound ever since their conception. Over the 6 years as a band they have garnered attention for their frenetic live performances and unwavering commitment to not settling on one sound. Their new album 'Relaxing Near the Hospital' only further cements this ideology. At once tender and vitriolic the album is full of contradiction, each song taking a sojourn into their myriad of influences. From hefty chunks of hardcore, to Steely Dan leaning croonerish tracks the album is reminiscent of Ween in its commitment to an noncommittal sound. What feels new is a level of vulnerability which has often been hinted at in previous releases, but here feels fully established.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 ????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.
