Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with Keith Forde of Linkwells

Linkwells are a four-piece indie-rock band from the scenic town of Malvern, quickly gaining attention for a sound that puts melody and classic songwriting front and center. Their music combines the anthemic lift of Britpop with a sharper modern indie edge, creating songs that feel built for singalongs without losing their bite. It’s a style that has earned comparisons to The Stone Roses, Oasis, The Verve, and Stereophonics—big hooks, driving guitars, and choruses that land with real purpose.

The band’s momentum has accelerated with their signing to Flip Flop Records, the label run by legendary producer Nick Brine (known for work with Oasis, The Stone Roses, and Bruce Springsteen). With Brine’s backing, Linkwells have been sharpening their identity and expanding their ambitions, preparing a strong run of releases designed to grow their catalog and reach wider audiences.

Already armed with five singles and an EP, Linkwells have built a surprisingly broad international listenership. Their music has found fans not only across England, Scotland, and Ireland, but also in Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Indonesia, Canada, and the United States—proof that their sound travels well and connects beyond local scenes.

On stage, Linkwells match their recordings with high energy and a strong instinct for crowd connection. Their live shows are quickly becoming part of their reputation: loud, tight, and built around the kind of choruses people remember on the ride home. With new music on the way and bigger plans in motion, Linkwells are stepping into their next chapter with confidence—and they’re only just getting started.
