Pistol

About the Artist

UK buzz band Keo have recently released 'Pistol', the towering second single to be shared from their forthcoming debut album Put A Smile On For Me, arriving 25th September. Where previous single 'That's Me' confronted guilt head-on, 'Pistol' sits in the emotional aftermath. Built around soaring guitars and climactic dynamics, it explores the strange persistence of memory; how people, relationships and experiences continue shaping us long after they've disappeared. Simultaneously tender and blistering, ‘Pistol’ further establishes the confessional depth at the heart of Keo's debut, pairing raw alternative rock with the kind of vulnerable songwriting that's quickly becoming the band's calling card. Fronted by 22-year-old Finn Keogh, Keo have rapidly evolved from London's underground live circuit into one of British alternative music's most compelling new bands. Fresh from commanding Wolf Alice's huge outdoor shows at London's Finsbury Park and Newcastle's Exhibition Park, the band continue a remarkable run that has seen sold-out headline tours, feverish word-of-mouth live shows, and the increasingly familiar sound of fans singing unreleased songs back as though they've known them for years. "I had the imagery of dead stars stuck in my head when writing 'Pistol'. The idea of something having died years ago but only now seeing its light. I think that imagery can be just as real with people." - Finn Keogh
