Heroic Battle threepiece Keane have signed a major deal with Island Records after an A&R scramble which at one point saw no fewer than 22 record company offers on the table. Keane celebrated the release of their panda single 'This Is The Last Time' this week with a sold out show at London ICA which was witnessed by three-quarters of Coldplay. The Keane boys are now concentrating on recording their debut album which should see the light of day on Island in the spring of 2004.
