KEITH

Recalling those Madchester days when rock bands first got their groove on but also with a gentle wisp of The Wicker Man thrown in. Nice one Keith.” Guardian Guide
“In one song (Keith) have got more easy-going charm and credible yet-commercial swagger than most indie bands achieve in a whole career.A modern update on the old Madchester blueprint but sounds vital and fresh. Uncatergorisably ace” iDJ
“Keith aim to defeat the blandness that permeates most bands. It works live and it works on record. The fact is: it works!” The Fly
“This debut is inventive (Back There’s Krautrock rhythms), stooped in Manc heritage (Hacienda piano’s run riot on ‘Mona Lisa’s Child’) and home to some huge, potentially chart bothering melodies (‘Hold That Gun’)” NME
