The piano pounding "bedwetters" latest single pays homage to their Irish heroes, U2. Like it?

Well, if its anything like that beautiful track Let Down as the review suggests, I'd better make sure I listen out for it!

So you can, cheers mate!

After a listen, it's certainly very U2 as the review suggests. But comparisons to Radiohead? I reckon the 'Head havnt got much to worry about ;-)

Seems like he's got some taste from these initial reviews, another excellent recruitment ;-)

One thing you need to know about me musically - no one touches Radiohead!

And if you've nevr heard Let Down, I guess that means you dont have OK Computer, the album? Only 6.99 at 101CD for one of the best albums to grace music land.

Who cares what Justin 'Flash in the pan' Hawkes thinks. I was lucky enough to be invited to hear Keane play at a small pub near Solihull in the West Midlands in front of 50 people. They are pure class - simply classic songs which are timeless. Perfect! They are certainly NOT bedwetters.
Great reviews by the way - Brilliantly written and easy to read. More please....

If Keane are bedwetters, then I'm afraid I've just soaked my matress because I'm loving this track.

It is very U2 admittedly, but turn it up, close your eyes and imagine yourself at a V-festival, with a cold beer as the sun's setting behind the stage and you get the idea how this song might become one of the best indie/rock (whatever) sounds of the summer.

Hopes and Fears is a dynamite album - and it appears the release of 'Under the Iron Sea' is about to relight the Sussex-based group's fuse.
