Rising Liverpool band, Keyside are back with new single, Rock My Love, out today!
It follows their February Michael (What’s Your Call?) EP and summer single, If You Don’t Try.
A breakthrough 2025 has seen the group play BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Sound City, as well as support slots for The Wombats and Red Rum Club.
Songwriter, Dani-Lee Parker commented on the new track: “The character in the song has hit rock bottom, struggling with addiction and unemployed, but she finds a way to live again through a love of photography.
“It’s autobiographical in some ways as music has been a path to lead me away from being lost on dark roads. I journal a lot, which I started after reading ‘Meditations’ by Marcus Aurelius.
“By reading I found that I wanted to write. It’s a necessity for me and out of that habit that the lyrics for songs like this can turn into songs.”
The new single precedes their first major UK tour, as Keyside set out to play 13 live dates, opening at Glasgow’s Oran Mor next week (Thursday 13th November).
