Keane are an English piano rock band; first established in Battle; East Sussex in 1995; taking their current name in 1997. The group comprises composer; bassist; and pianist Tim Rice-Oxley; lead vocalist Tom Chaplin and drummer Richard Hughes.Their original line-up included founder and guitarist Dominic Scott; who left in 2001. Keane are known for using a piano as their lead instrument instead of guitars; significantly differentiating them from most rock bands. The inclusion of a distorted piano effect since 2006 and various synthesizers are now a common feature in their music that nowadays combines the pure piano rock sound used during their first album and the alternative rock sound which developed during 2005. "A Bad Dream", often mistitled as "Bad Dream", is a song performed and composed by English rock band Keane appearing as the fifth track on their second album Under the Iron Sea. It was released January 22, 2007 as the sixth and last single from that album in the United Kingdom and other countries (see 2007 in British music).Keane are an English piano rock band; first established in Battle; East Sussex in 1995; taking their current name in.
