Keane is a Rap act. Their sound grew out of Gwen Stefani, Elton John, The Walker Brothers, U2 and Sugarland. Those roots explain a lot about how Keane arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Coldplay, Brandon Flowers, Kaiser Chiefs, The Killers and Robbie Williams, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Travis, Blake Lewis, Apoptygma Berzerk, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out and Foot of the Mountain, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 46 connections around Keane, reaching back through Gwen Stefani and forward to Travis.
