Keane revolutionise music industry with free music downloads

We were hoping and praying it wouldn’t happen, but it did. Keane’s experiment to offer one of the band’s tracks for free music download has proved to be a success. Hot on heels of Coldplay, who did the exact same thing and were hot on the heels of Nine Inch Nails, who were hot on the heels of Radiohead… where were we? Ah yes, Keane came up with the novel idea of offering one of their songs for free music download.

Normally this wouldn’t annoy us, but Keane are one of the blandest, most uninspiring bands out today. We’re probably going to offend a bunch of people with this, but honestly, what do people see in Keane?

Well, as it happens, some half a million people see enough in Keane to take advantage of the band’s free music download. The track “Spiralling” was given away last week through the band’s website. The album Perfect Symmetry is due to follow on October 13. We can’t wait – to not get it.
