The Keystones are an alt-rock, blues punk band based in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Born in the very same place as the electric guitar itself, the members of this Strokes-and-Black-Keys-inspired rock group hail from an era past, one that’s full of gritty tones and simple, hypnotizing garage beats that shift from bar-rock dance tunes to summer beach jams. They’re a far cry from the glitzy, indie pop groups that dominate the center stage these days, and they’re okay with that. Why? Because their goal isn’t to find the prettiest sound — it’s much bigger than that. They want to make the town that created the guitar as we know it proud.
