About
The three members of Keane grew up together in Sussex, England and formed the band in the late-1990s. With soaring melodies and choirboy falsettos, Keane's sound is often compared to such bands as Coldplay, Travis and Radiohead -- despite the fact that there's nary a guitar to be found in Keane's music. Making the most of very little, Keane's epic, cinematic sound brims with gut-wrenching melodies telling stories of heartbreak and romance. Their 2004 debut, Hopes and Fears, is particularly impressive.
