[PRE-ORDER] The Kilans - Could You Keep It Dark [Vinyl]

The Kilans are an indie rock band from Salt Lake City known for their raw sound, kinetic guitars, and electrifying live shows. Formed in 2023, the lineup — Jack Ongman (vocals, rhythm guitar), Jacob Shultz (lead guitar), Cooper Brezoff (bass), and David Wiseman (drums) — came together after Jack and Jacob met while skateboarding in college and started jamming in basement sessions that quickly turned into something bigger.

Just five months later, they released their debut single "Curly," a burst of unfiltered energy that made waves across the local scene. Their follow-up, "Why Is It Light Out?," sharpened their songwriting and expanded their reach, pairing introspective lyrics with dynamic, guitar-driven production. The track landed them on multiple editorial playlists and marked The Kilans as one of the most promising new voices in indie rock.

Now, the band takes their next major step. On October 30, 2026, The Kilans will release their debut album Could You Keep It Dark via Mom and Pop Music. Anchored by key singles "Cherry, Please" and "Oliver," the record marks a bold leap forward — channeling the raw energy of their basement origins into a fully realized body of work. In support of the release, the band will embark on a North American tour, bringing their signature live intensity to stages across the continent.
 
With Could You Keep It Dark, The Kilans aren't just delivering on their early promise — they're announcing themselves on a national stage, authentically on their own terms.
