Liverpool four-piece Keyside release their latest single ‘Rock My Love’, a moving and melodic portrait of redemption through creativity. Drawing on real experiences and themes of addiction, hopelessness, and rebirth, the band pair their social realism with bright, soaring melodies that shimmer with optimism. Lead singer and songwriter Dani-Lee Parker channels personal history into poetic storytelling, explaining, “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.”
The release arrives as Keyside embark on their first major UK tour, following two years of rising momentum across small venues, festivals, and support slots. Their 13-date run begins November 13 at Glasgow’s Oran Mor, with sold-out shows already confirmed in Liverpool, London, Birmingham, and Bristol. Known for their lyrical honesty and heart-driven performances, Keyside have fast earned comparisons to The La’s and The Cure, blending vulnerability and power with every verse.
‘Rock My Love’ closes an impressive year that saw Keyside release their Michael (What’s Your Call?) EP, summer single If You Don’t Try, and appear at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Sound City, and on tour with The Wombats and Red Rum Club. Completed by Ben Cassidy, Max Gibson, and Oisin McAvoy, the band continue to build their reputation as one of Britain’s most vital new voices, finding light in struggle and connection in every lyric.
