Stephen Keech is an American producer, songwriter, and composer living in Nashville, TN. He spent his early years as the vocalist and songwriter for Solid State Records band Haste the Day. He was also the vocalist for New Day Awakening and was the bassist for As Cities Burn.
In 2002, Keech started his musical career with the band New Day Awakening, for whom he provided vocals. The band recorded an EP, titled: Plague: Hysteria in 2005, but disbanded in 2006.
In 2007, Keech was asked to join Haste the Day after original vocalist Jimmy Ryan left the band. Keech's previous band had toured with Haste the Day before. The band recorded a Split EP with From Autumn to Ashes, titled Stitches/Deth Kult Social Club in 2007, before recording Keech's HTD debut, Pressure the Hinges.
In 2008, the band parted ways with lead guitarist Jason Barnes for no longer being a Christian. They asked Dave Krysl (former New Day Awakening member) to join as touring lead guitarist. The band recorded Dreamer in 2008, before Brennan Chaulk and Devin Chaulk left the band. They then made Dave Krysl an official member, hired guitarist Scotty Whelan (ex-Phinehas), and drummer Giuseppe Capolupo (ex-Demise of Eros, Once Nothing). This new lineup recorded Attack of the Wolf King and eventually disbanded in 2011.
In 2012, former label mates, As Cities Burn, hired Keech to be their touring bassist.
In 2014, Haste the Day reunited to record Coward, which was produced by Keech and released in 2015. The band also played a series of album release shows in support of Coward. The future of the band is still unknown.
