The Kilans - Could You Keep It Dark? Tour

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.

Now, the band takes their next major step. On October 23, 2026, The Kilans will release their debut album Could You Keep It Dark via Mom and Pop Records. 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
