Liverpool’s rising indie stars, Keyside, are set to release their highly anticipated new single, "Runaway," tonight September 6th. Known for their sparkling songwriting that blends the nostalgic flair of The La’s and The Smiths with a modern twist, Keyside have been making waves with their ability to turn personal stories into infectious, jangly anthems.
Following the success of their breakthrough single, "Nikita," from their debut EP on Modern Sky—the label that boasts indie heavyweights like The Coral, The Lathums, and Royston Club—Keyside has firmly established themselves as a band to watch. "Nikita" caught the attention of major stations like BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, and Radio X, who embraced the band’s fresh take on indie rock, filled with life experience and poetic storytelling.
"Runaway" continues this trend, capturing the struggles of escaping a tough home life with both a lyrical and melodic intensity that resonates deeply. Loaded with lively chords and vibrant energy, the single delivers a message that feels urgent and universal while sounding fresh.
Keyside's "Runaway" is blistering, and might as well be one of the best indie tracks released this year so far.
