(I did a search before making the topic but came up with no results.)
I like this. A quick check revealed that their album debuted at #1 last week in the UK. Where did the single debut? Some reviews on Amazon compared them to Coldplay but I disagree. Well, I've only heard one song.
Edit: Alright, they so badly want to be Coldplay. You can tell especially from the piano and the lead singer's voice.

#4 UK. Their previous single 'Somewhere Only We Know' peaked at #3
I love this song. Great Graduation song I think.

I love this song, their third single "Bedshaped" is out tomorrow I believe or the coming weeks. :)
Hopes and Fears came out in the US less than 2 months ago; they cut 2 tracks from the UK album. "Somewhere Only We Know" is their first single here.

They sound like a weak Coldplay wannabe.

keane are great! a british indie band without guitars. you must give them a chance and not try and compare them with coldplay, which they inevitably have already done and are sick of! ;)

They're very good. Buzz is building here in the States and Interscope seems committed to them.

Somewhere Only We Know has been growing on me. I like this one too. Maybe not as much as the former, but it's still good.
I'm really tempted to pick up their album.

"Somewhere Only We Know" is becoming a huge radio hit in Quebec.

I've heard the whole album (I don't know whether they have others) but as far as I can tell, only the two singles are good. The rest are OK (i.e. passing grade) but don't stand out. Are you kidding???? What about 'Bedshaped'? That song is absolutely beautiful.... |

I just got home from an acoustic performance and they were awesome! The lead singer's voice is amazing and flawless in a live setting.

I love "Somewhere Only We Know" but this is even better. This has more of a definitive chorus and hence should've been the lead single in the USA. Hopfully "SOWK" will be big enough to allow an eventual release for this one here as well. I have faith in them! :)

With their performance on David Letterman, Hopes And Fears moves up in the 80's on Billboard. |
