In 2005 Keane were nominated in a number of categories at the BRIT Awards, taking away Best British album and the British breakthrough act award as voted for by listeners of BBC Radio 1. The band are also patrons of the charity War Child, and in 2005 they recorded a cover of the Walker Brothers' 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' and gave it to the War Child foundation website for download, as well as pressing up one thousand vinyl copies and giving them as a gift to some of their fans. Later that year they recorded a cover version of Elton John's 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' for the charity album 'Help: A Day In The Life', and they also gave a cover of 'What A Wonderful World' to Comic Relief. In April 2005, in the middle of the 'Hopes And Fears' tour, the band began recording their next record, titled 'Under The Iron Sea', at Helioscentric Studios, with some additional recording done at The Magic Shop Studios in New York. They were also regulars on British radio, recording a session for Jo Whiley, and playing 'White Christmas' on the Steve Lamacq show. With their second album on the horizon, we gather up the b-sides from the last couple of singles from 'Hopes And Fears', alongside all their charity recordings and radio sessions from 2004 and 2005.
