Keane

The Alternative-Rock Pop-Rock band from East Battle, Sussex ENGLAND, Keane originally formed in 1997 and were comprised of vocalist Tom Chaplin, guitarist Dominic Scott, pianist Tim Rice-Oxley and drummer Richard Hughes.

When the guys were at collage, they began performing live locally and two years after forming the group self-released a couple of singles.
In 2002 Scott left the band, which continued on as a three-piece playing regularly all over England, they eventually caught the attention of Island Records who released the band's debut album, "Hopes And Fears", in May 2004; the record shot to #1 on The Official British Pop chart while the single "Somewhere Only We Know", two months earlier, crashed into the top 3 of the U.K. Singles chart; the track was also aired on U.S. alt-Rock stations and ended up at #32 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart. The album generated three more British top 10 hits with the #3 "Everybody's Changing", the #4 "Bedshaped" and "This Is The Last Time". Before the year's end "Hopes And Fears" climbed into the top 50 of The Billboard 200 Albums chart and it went on to sell 5,5 million copies worldwide, garnering the band two Brit Awards and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
In June 2006 Keane returned with its second album, "Under The Iron Sea"; the 12-song set went straight to #1 on the British chart, peaked at #4 in U.S. and reached the #7 position in Canada, it has so far sold over 2 million copies worldwide. The first single off the CD was "Is It Any Wonder?", it debuted at #3 in U.K. and peaked at #18 on the U.S. Hot Modern Rock Tracks. The buzz for this album was spurred by three more U.K. top 20 hit singles: "Crystal Ball", "Nothing In My Way" and "A Bad Dream". In August of the same year, the band revealed that frontman Tom Chaplin was treated for drink and drug problems; however in 2007, Keane toured the world, playing sold out shows across Europe, the U.S. and Latin America, including headline gigs to 50,000 Keane fans in Buenos Aires, 15,000 in Amsterdam and 18,000 at London's O2 Arena.

Keane are back with the new single, "Spiralling"; the song serves as a preview for the band's third album, "Perfect Symmetry", due for release on October 13, 2008.
