Keo launch debut album ‘Put A Smile On For Me’ with snarling lead single ‘That’s Me’

Breakout rock risers Keo have announced that their debut album, ‘Put A Smile On For Me’, will be released on 25th September via Island Records.

The successor to the London four-piece’s 2025 EP ‘Siren’, the project promises to be a blistering 11-track offering dedicated to capturing the grittiness and raw emotion of their already-notorious live shows.

The result of what frontman Finn Keogh has described as “personal chaos”, ‘Put A Smile On For Me’ was written and recorded over just ten days, with Finn and guitarist Jimmy Lanwern choosing to self-produce in order to sidestep any hint of polish or softened edges. 

“Honesty is uncomfortable,” Finn has noted, speaking about the LP. “I don’t want to see your true colours and you don’t want to see mine. You smile, I’ll smile, everything is fine.”

Introducing the record is visceral new cut ‘That’s Me’, of which Finn explains: “The weight of a secret can sometimes be heavier than the result of people knowing it. I didn’t want to drag my guilt around any longer; I felt like I could finally let myself off the hook through writing ‘That’s Me’.” Check it out for yourself here:
