Influenced by Royal Blood, Queens of the Stone Age, Led Zeppelin, IDLES. For ten years, Kerrigan Keel's life was the roar of grinders and the smell of hot metal in a Cornish shipyard. After a near-catastrophic equipment failure made him question the structures he built his life on, he traded his welding torch for a fuzz-drenched bass guitar. Now based in Brighton, his hard-rock duo KEEL builds songs with the same brutalist principles, turning the language of maritime engineering into thunderous anthems about human breaking points.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The...
(Music enters)
...condensation on his Volvo's rear screen
Down a terraced street off Lewes Road you've never been.
It's ten-past-nine on a wet November Tuesday,
The air smells of wet leaves and someone else's duty-free.

[Chorus]
It's a sound weld,
I tell myself.
Just a minor flaw, it's holding up well.

[Verse 2]
The petrol receipt from a station near Gatwick,
Timestamped Sunday, when he told you he was sick.
"He's just under pressure," you said, and drew the blinds,
I can see the waterline rising on the things he leaves behind.

[Chorus]
It's a sound weld,
I tell myself.
Just a minor flaw, it's holding up well.

[Bridge]
A shear pin is designed to break, it's meant to save the gear,
But what if the whole damn engine is the only thing to fear?

[Outro]
A sound weld...
It's holding.
