Merseyside four-piece Keyside have announced the details of their highly anticipated self-titled debut album alongside a major headline homecoming show in Liverpool this winter.
The guitar-pop group, who have recently released their new single, Cocodamol, will perform at the 2,300-capacity Mountford Hall on Saturday, 12 December 2026.
The band’s upcoming 12-track album is scheduled for release on Friday, 7 August 2026 via the Modern Sky label.
The record was put together at Kempston Street Studios alongside producer Chris Taylor, known for his work with prominent acts such as The Coral, Blossoms, and Brooke Combe.
New Single Cocodamol Targets Modern Party Culture Realities
To coincide with the album announcement, the band has released their latest single, Cocodamol.
Written by lyricist and songwriter Dani-Lee Parker, the track tackles the complexities of modern youth relationships.
Dani-Lee Parker explained:
“Cocodamol explores loose love in party culture. Friends-with-benefits, emotional placeholders, intimacy without permanence.
“It’s about waking up beside someone and being their painkiller: easing the physical hangover while ignoring the emotional one.”
The song joins several previously released singles on the upcoming track listing, including Lemon And Lime, the escapist track Runaway, the Greek philosophy-inspired Rock My Love, and the kitchen-sink drama of Angeline.
The remaining five tracks on the album will consist of completely unreleased material.
The full track listing for the debut album has been confirmed as follows:
- Runaway
- Angeline
- Down My Way
- Lemon And Lime
- Heaven
- Comedown
- Rock My Love
- Cocodamol
- Red Ruby Red
- Nikita
- Michael (What’s Your Call?)
- Echoes
The album will be available on multiple formats, including standard and special edition vinyl, CD, and digital platforms.
National Radio Support and Summer Tour Dates Scheduled
Comprising Dani-Lee Parker on vocals, Ben Cassidy on lead guitar, Max Gibson on bass and backing vocals, and Oisín McAvoy on drums, the group has drawn musical comparisons to classic songwriting acts like The Smiths, The La’s, and The Strokes.
Their earlier material, including the 2024 single Nikita, previously gained national daytime support on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 Music.
Ahead of their December homecoming gig, the group is set to perform across the summer festival circuit, alongside a series of tour dates supporting labelmates Red Rum Club and The Lathums.
