The single is from their debut album.

This week's First Play on iRadio comes from a well-known name in the Irish music scene.

Somebody to Love is out on March 22nd and is taken from their eagerly anticipated debut album Ordinary Superhero, which is out later this year.

The lads are widely known for their explosive live performances.

The four-piece from Dublin comprises of Kav, Glover, Jimi and Harry. The group formed after being introduced to each other during a trip to Los Angeles where they became friends.

They started out in Dublin but found the Irish gig scene very slow. They began busking, taking their sound directly to the people of Ireland, and quickly became famous and well known for busking on Shop Street in Galway and Grafton Street in Dublin.

Keywest are also kicking off a nine-country tour across Europe this month:
