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. You can hear this push-pull woven into each of their compositions.
Following their debut EP Assembly – deemed “a glorious success” by NME – Keg released another EP, Girders, in September. “It wasn’t our intention to make something consistently unrelenting and abrasive,” they explain, “it just ends up sounding that way.”
Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the feeling of not really knowing yourself, your body slowly crumbling around your brain or a mass cull, sonically and lyrically Girders pushes and pulls the listener into peaks and troughs all the way through. Let’s see how it plays out on stage!
