Keane is an English piano rock band from Battle, East Sussex. The current members are Tim Rice-Oxley (composer, writer, bass guitarist and pianist), Tom Chaplin (lead vocals and organ), and Richard Hughes (percussion). Former members include guitarist, Dominic Scott, who left in 2001.
Keane is known for using a piano as its lead instrument instead of guitars, significantly differentiating it from most rock bands. However, the band does make use of effects pedals and synthesizers, giving it a wide range of sounds beyond the limits of traditional piano tones. Tom Chaplin's vocals, which often make use of falsetto, are also considered to be a notable part of the band's style
