The Alternative-Rock Pop-Rock band from East Battle, Sussex ENGLAND, Keane originally formed in 1997 and were comprised of vocalist Tom Chaplin, guitarist Dominic Scott, pianist Tim Rice-Oxley and drummer Richard Hughes.
When the guys were at collage began performing live locally and by the time the group self-released a couple of singles; in 2002 Scott left the band, which continued on as a three-piece playing regularly all over England, they eventually caught the attention of Island Records who released the band's debut album, "Hopes And Fears", in May 2004; the record shot to #1 on The Official British Pop chart while the single "Somewhere Only We Know", two months earlier, crashed into the top 3 of the U.K. Singles chart; the album generated three more top 10 hits: the #3 "Everybody's Changing", the #4 "Bedshaped" and "This Is The Last Time"; before the year's end "Hopes And Fears" climbed into the top 50 of The Billboard 200 Albums chart.
The shtick would only last so long, for the band got tired of playing everyone else's songs and yearned to do things on their own. When Chaplin left his art history studies at Edinburgh University behind in 1999, and moved to London to join the rest of his mates, Keane had a chance to really do it.
