Since taking a break from his previous band Empire Divide which he fronted, Niall Keels has focused on writing his own material, also working alongside renowned songwriter Jessica Sharman (The Inbetweeners 2). His debut single Surrender which was released at the end of 2016 attracted huge waves of praise, resulting in performances on London Live and Sofar Sounds. His musical influences include the likes of Phil Collins, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash, which you can definitely sense in his solo work.
Having previously toured with Young Rebel Set, Catfish and the Bottlemen and The Augustines, Keels has had vast experience and is no stranger to the industry. He is now leaving huge prints of his own, with incredible catchy music all down to his special talent.
Prison Walls is the emotional new single which was released on 5th May, and upon first listen you are immediately hooked! The song is about not wanting to be trapped and no longer wanting to be alone. Very uplifting and leaves you with a positive feeling. ‘Take me away where I can breathe and feel alive’, and ‘fill my heart with rhythm’ are lyrics that will stay with you long after the song has finished. You can hear sprinkles of other artists of the genre, such as Bon Iver and Jack Savoretti and you can also certainly imagine Heather Small (formerly of M People) taking on a song like this.

There are many exciting things coming up for Keels, with a sold-out show at St Pancras Old Church back in March, you can be certain that this is proof of his ever-growing success. It is not hard to see why, and long may it continue.
