"Keane lead singer Tom Chaplin has retaliated against critics who describe his group as &amp;quot;bland&amp;quot;. The 29-year-old told the Daily Star that the group&amp;#039;s recent single &amp;#039;Spiralling&amp;#039; proved that they were willing to take risks. &amp;quot;I don\u00E2\u20AC\u2122t like the tag of being seen as bland because you can&amp;#039;t really listen to our music and think that, so it is frustrating,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I love the fact that &amp;#039;Spiralling&amp;#039; was the first track we had done that really divided opinion. It was such a bold thing musically that you couldn&amp;#039;t sit on the fence.&amp;quot; Chaplin added that inspiration from groups such as Radiohead and Goldfrapp prompted Keane to change their sound. &amp;quot;Freshness is great - too many bands sit around and stagnate and I don&amp;#039;t think that could ever really satisfy us as we are always evolving,&amp;quot; he commented. &amp;quot;Bands like Radiohead and Goldfrapp are constantly changing their sound and it&amp;#039;s great to be in that select group of people.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Click here to read our review of Keane&amp;#039;s new album "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
