Name, where are you from?
Keg (Albert, Charlie, Frank, Joel, Johnny, Jules, Will) from Bridlington, Birmingham, Cambridge, London and Gosport.
Describe your style in three words?
Ecclesiastic.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
The Chuckle Brothers, the Futurist Theatre, Scarborough.
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
Minutemen and CAN. Both would have had some lovely crudités.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
F: Sound system culture in Birmingham was very prevalent for me growing up and definitely informed my love of hip-hop and reggae.
A&W: Ska and Two-Tone was very big in Bridlington with scooter rallies every year. Some of our best first gigs were seeing The Specials and The Selecter at Bridlington Spa.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Bob Mortimer and Derren Brown in an MMA fight.
Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
Leeds Hyde Park Book Club smells delicious! Like lovely hot rolls.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
The Grid VR, sunset vibes.
KEG recently released their new single 'Presidential Walk' – the second track to be lifted from their upcoming debut EP 'Assembly', out 22nd October via Alcopop! Records.
Pre-order or pre-save 'Assembly' at keg.lnk.to/AssemblyPR.
