Keane chap Tom Chaplin has spoken out against critics who called the band's music bland. "I don't like the tag of being seen as bland because you can't really listen to our music and think that, so it is frustrating," he said. "I love the fact that [first single off latest album 'Perfect Symmetry'] 'Spiralling' was the first track we had done that really divided opinion. It was such a bold thing musically that you couldn't sit on the fence".
He continued: "Freshness is great - too many bands sit around and stagnate and I don't think that could ever really satisfy us as we are always evolving. Bands like Radiohead and Goldfrapp are constantly changing their sound and it's great to be in that select group of people".
