New Music: Keyside: Liverpool Indie-Rockers Release Uplifting Anthem "If You Don't Try"

Keyside is a vibrant four-piece indie rock band hailing from Liverpool, UK. The quartet consists of Dan Parker (vocals, acoustic guitar), Ben Cassidy (lead guitar), Oisin McAvoy (drums), and Max Gibson (bass, backing vocals). They signed with Modern Sky UK, an indie label based in Merseyside.

Keyside is praised for their "pristine jangle-pop of powerful substance," blending uplifting melodies with lyrics that often carry a deeper social conscience. Their sound draws comparisons to "The Queen is Dead"-era The Smiths, The La's, and The Stone Roses, while maintaining a fresh, modern vigor. They've quickly become one of the most hotly-tipped bands of their generation, garnering extensive support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, and Radio X. Keyside is known for their energetic live performances, which have seen them sell out headline shows in Liverpool and Manchester, support acts like Jamie Webster, Shed Seven, and Blossoms, and play at major festivals.
