Keane — Perfect Symmetry

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) December 17, 2008 4:18 pm
Keane's third release proves they're not just a love 'em or leave 'em band. It's a much less calculated effort than their two previous albums, which came across sounding a little too perfect. The pianos are still here, but '80s-sounding synthesizers and poppy, catchy lyrics have seemingly replaced their heavier influences....

Keane Curate A Night For War Child

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) October 17, 2008 2:34 pm
Late last year, Keane held a night in support of non-governmental organization War Child at London, England's Brixton Academy. This DVD documents that night, and while it's for a good cause, it's ultimately pretty boring. In fact, it says something when the most interesting numbers are those performed by Keane, who are a pretty boring b(l)and....

Rain Can't Wash Edgefest Away

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Edgefest. The festival has gone through many permutations over the years, but in the end, it still serves as a great way of bringing music to the masses. I don't visit the Amphitheatre often, so every time I come back it takes a little while to get used to the lay of the land. After wandering by the...

Keane — Under The Iron Sea

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) June 20, 2006 3:52 pm
Under The Iron Sea falls into the best-case scenario for second albums, demonstrating some musical evolution while still staying true to the sound that begat success the first time around. Opening track "Atlantic" is a ballsy choice in that it's one of a handful of tracks that depart from the band's "typical" sound. But it's...

Keane — Hopes And Fears

in
By Darrin Keene (CHARTattack) May 25, 2004 4:44 pm
With their chiming piano melodies and vocalist Tom Chaplin's maudlin, willowy warble, it’s inevitable that Keane will be compared to Coldplay. What's worth noting about Keane isn't their similarity to these soft-rock luminaries, but rather their emotionally engaging, hook-laden pop songs. Upbeat tempos and bittersweet melodies collide brilliantly...

We've been joking around that when ol' Tommy goes high Keane sound like the Eurythmics. It's actually kind of disarming. Next thing you know he's gonna die his hair red and redo "Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty Four)," which, by the way, is better than anything on here.
