Almost Static [Cassette]

Almost Static [Cassette]

Keep is an alternative rock band from Richmond, VA formed in 2013. They draw heavy inspiration from the shoegaze and grunge sounds of the 90’s, post-2000 indie, and add just a dash of 80’s goth and art rock sensibility. While that may sound a bit like an alphabet soup of influences, Keep’s brilliance lies in their ability to seamlessly blend myriad sounds into something that feels surpassingly cohesive. A riff may conjure Starflyer 59, Hum or Swervedriver. A melody might evoke The Cure or Cocteau Twins. The mood may call Low or Bowery Electric to mind. But while Keep may momentarily remind you of any number of artists you love, their music always feels like something unique that you’re hearing for the first time.

Keep recently completed a run of West Coast dates with Trauma Ray and Glixen. This summer they'll be touring the East Coast along with Richmond's Tarantula, and supporting Minus The Bear on their Menos El Oso 20th anniversary tour in September.
