"Keels sounds like an artist in the peak of his career - and he's only just getting started" - The Line of Best Fit "Matches lyrical introversion to neat melodic flair.. A subtle but empowering contrast that feels rich and unforced" - Clash London based singer-songwriter Niall Keels is fast becoming one of the talked about songwriters in the UK & Ireland.. His debut single ‘Surrender’ was released to a rapturous critical appraisal with an incredibly moving video. The Line of Best Fit described the song as “Pure reflection” and a slew of online support then led to performances on London Live and Sofar Sounds. Spotify then jumped on board, adding the single to their tastemaker ‘Fresh Finds’ playlist and Stress Buster playlist. On top of this, his last release was selected by Tom Robinson for his 6 Music BBC introducing playlist. Niall draws his main inspiration from bands like The National and the Augustines to heroes Jonny Cash, Phil Collins and Bruce Springsteen. Jump back to 2019 and to coincide with sold-out shows at St Pancras Old Church, Camden Assembly (Barfly), Hoxton Square, Keels brought about Cold Winter, an anthem that captured plenty more attention. The chorus, is a true testament to the pure song writing ability Keels has available. His last release Walls of the City is another anthemic/cinematic track that is one for your playlist. After taking some time away from music in 2020, he has some exciting tracks to share in 2021.
