BIO:
Keep is a band from Richmond, VA that was formed in 2013. They are heavily influenced by the likes of

The Cure, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Slowdive, but that only scratches the surface. In a review of

their second album, Happy In Here, it is stated that “even with these comparisons and any accuracy they

could possess, Keep are a band that’s not only cut their own sort of path, but have become quite

seasoned at it.” Their music has spanned a number of genres over the years, but most often falls under

the banner of shoegaze. Regardless of specific distinctions, Keep sits firmly in the web of alternative rock

music. Audiotree aptly described the sound as “grand and majestic”, adding that it is “ensconced in an all

consuming mist of heavy noise.”

Keep is a band that is tried and true. With over ten years of experience, three albums, a host of EP’s, and

countless tours (both stateside and abroad) under their belt, they are only just hitting their stride. Almost

Static will be the defining Keep record, as the many influences that the band has historically displayed

are pieced together in a more seamless manner than they’ve ever been. Additionally, the band branches

into new territory on tracks like "Smile Down (Into Nothing)," "Bermuda," and "Almost Static."

This is an album built for long hours spent in the car which is frequently reflected in the lyrics. Almost

Static explores many of thoughts that might cross one’s mind on such expansive journeys. It’s a driving

and anthemic record that navigates the meandering nature of a world that won’t slow down. It’s a

soundtrack for hurtling further and further into oblivion.
