Keyside

Liverpool four-piece KEYSIDE blend classic Northern guitar-pop sensibilities with emotionally charged storytelling and a sound that’s fast becoming their own. Led by frontman Dani-Lee Parker – his unmistakable Liverpudlian lilt carrying both grit and grace – their songs are rich in feeling, full of melody, and grounded in real-life experience.

Their lyrics don’t shy away from difficult truths – touching on everything from isolation and addiction to hope and redemption – yet the band’s instinct for a soaring hook gives their music its unique pull. Tracks like 'Angeline', 'Nikita', and 'Runaway' have marked them as natural songwriters, winning praise and support across BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, Radio X and Amazing Radio.

Onstage, KEYSIDE have built a reputation for raw, joyful live shows. Their first UK headline tour sold out at a blistering pace, followed by standout support slots with Blossoms, Royston Club, Mantra of the Cosmos and Shed Seven. Festival highlights include YNOT, On The Waterfront and Salt ’n’ Tar.

Their latest single 'If You Don't Try', produced by Chris Taylor (The Coral, Blossoms), is about embracing uncertainty, taking chances and living life. It blends historical metaphor, personal emotion and modern imagery to say: “F*** it! Let’s give it a go, see what happens if we try."

KEYSIDE are: Dani-Lee Parker (vocals, acoustic guitar) Ben Cassidy (lead guitar) Max Gibson (bass, backing vocals) Oisin McAvoy (drums)
