Feeder

Following biography found on Feeder's official myspace:
Formed in 1992 by Grant and drummer Jon Lee two friends from South Wales Feeder began their steady rise in 1995 after moving to London and recruiting Japanese bassist Taka Hirose. With a powerful and emotive modern rock sound that drew comparison to such critically acclaimed artists as The Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies and Talk Talk, Feeder built a strong fanbase with their debut mini-album Swim (1996) and first album proper Polythene (1997).

When their second album Yesterday Too Soon entered the UK chart at number seven in 1999, it was clear that Feeder had arrived. And the next album, Echo Park, did even better, peaking at number five in 2001. The band were firmly in the ascendancy when the unthinkable happened. On January 7, 2002, Jon Lee took his own life. Six months later, Grant stated: Were carrying on because I think its what Jon would have wanted. It just seems tragic to give up now.

The decision was vindicated with the album Comfort In Sound, a set of emotionally charged songs, praised by The Guardian as possessing an unquenchable spirit. With ex-Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson on drums, Feeder had come through the darkest of times.

The passion for music that Grant talks about has kept them going. Its always been there, from the bands earliest days, through all the highs and lows. It was there in Feeders most recent album, the graceful and reflective Pushing The Senses, which reached number two in the UK in 2005. And its there in the new songs included on The Singles; songs that, in Grants words, hint at where were going.

Feeder have sold 3.5 million albums and have appeared as special guests of U2, REM, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Rolling Stones all over the world. The band have played countless headlining tours and triumphed at all the major festivals several appearances will be announced soon for summer 2006. And theres much more to come. The Singles celebrates the past and points to the future of a band whose belief in their music is undeniable.

They deserved a thread, purely because I love them [and sure some of you do too]

One of my favourite songs is "Dove Grey Sands".

I love them!

Got 'The Singles' a couple of days ago, and have fallen in love with them all over again! I think Just A Day is my favourite!

yeah some people can get REALLY touchy on forums, I don't see theres a problem of voicing an opinion, as long as it isn't like completely extreme [eg death threats etc] or racist...etc etc
