Hannah Gillicker

As the year draws to a close we look back on a brilliant 12 months of music, as members of the Bring The Noise UK team share their favourite releases of 2024. Hannah Gillicker – Editor 1. Maeta – Endless Night My music taste has expanded a lot over in 2024. I’ve opened myself up to new genres and delved back into some favourites from the past. Maeta grabbed my attention with her 2023 track Questions earlier this year, and when Endless Night dropped in June it instantly became a firm favourite.

Brothers Finn and Conor Keogh, and friends Oli Spackman and Jimmy Lanwern, are the four that make up new, London-based band Keo and, prior to their opening of the second stage at BST Hyde Park: Kings Of Leon, we sat down to find out just a little more about them. Let us start with asking – how would you guys describe yourselves? Finn: We’re kind of like a ‘90s influenced take on folk?

We recently caught up with the band, to discuss first musical memories, influences, ambitions and more. Can you remember the first time you realised you wanted to make music? I was at my best friend’s house. He had just gotten an electric guitar, a Squire with a little amp that came with it.
