The future of this band is a really exciting one.

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 creates 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. Its 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 well received 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.
They return with their anxiously awaited debut ‘Fun’s Over’ early 2025.
