Snow Patrol are an band that formed in Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom in 1994 and currently based in Bangor, Northern Ireland, where most of the band members are from. They consist of (vocals, guitar), (guitar, vocals), (bass), (keyboards) and (drums).
Lightbody and Quinn are the only original members who remain in the band.The band became wildly successful on both sides of the Atlantic on the back of their fourth record, 2006's and the ballad ' - a song that has spent a near-record breaking 90 weeks on the UK Top 75. Some of their other well known songs are, and.The main thing to get about Snow Patrol is that, 14 years after they started out as a student band at Dundee University, they're still flying, gloriously and unpredictably, by the seat of their pants. 'The great and terrifying thing about our band,' declares their leader and main songwriter Gary Lightbody, 'Is that everything has always happened as it's going along. There's been very little masterplan. We allow things to happen as much by accident as by deliberate intention.'
One notable early accident was their name. Lightbody's band used to be known as - hence their 1998 debut album - but were obliged to change it after discovering that this was what the bassist of was calling his side project. 'Snow Patrol' had already been chosen for them by a friend who didn't care for the Polar Bear moniker; and so it came to pass that Snow Patrol signed in 1995 to Jeepster, home of their Glaswegian indie heroes at the time,.Now that the band have become feted as commercial giants - their last album was the UK's best-seller of 2006 - it's worth remembering that Snow Patrol spent the 1990's so broke that at one low point Lightbody had to sell his record collection to pay the rent. Jeepster finally dropped them in 2001 after their second album, the presciently titled, failed to connect beyond their passionate but stubbornly tiny fanbase.
'We spent 10 years making records that 6000 people bought,' Lightbody confirms. 'Success to us isn't a chart thing, it's when you turn up to play a gig and find the place is full.' In the early days, their largest audiences were back in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as Bangor-born Lightbody grew up in Northern Ireland before moving to Scotland as a student.
'We're very lucky in that we seem to have three home town audiences in Belfast, Dublin and Glasgow, although we get an extraordinary reception whenever we play anywhere in Ireland or Scotland.' Snow Patrol began to get considerably bigger all over the UK and in America after signing to Fiction in 2003 and hooking up with the producer Garrett 'Jacknife' Lee. 'An amazing influence,' in Lightbody's estimation, 'Jacknife has become like an indispensable member of the band.
I can't imagine working with any other producer.' Under Lee's inspired guidance, Snow Patrol and their increasingly charismatic vocalist Lightbody, shed some of their indie rough edges and began to hone their pop smarts.
In 2003 they released their first number one album, which yielded the band's first top 5 hit,. It also won them the inaugural Ivor Novello for best album in 2004. In 2005 they moved into a remote studio in the middle of Ireland, Grouse Lodge, and completed, home of one of the most emotionally potent tunes of the 21st century,.
With over 100,000 radio plays in the UK, 2m downloads in the US, and the accolade of 'Best Song of All Time' from the listeners of Virgin Radio, also had the rare distinction of closing the BBC's long running TV chart show Top Of The Pops in July 2006. The effect was phenomenal, leading to selling 4.7m copies worldwide.At this point most similarly blessed bands would probably have either taken a long, expensive holiday, or re-grouped for another assault on the global pop charts. Lightbody and co did neither, opting instead to call up Jacknife Lee and make an album which took them on an unexpected creative odyssey from Galway in the West Of Ireland, back to Grouse Lodge in County Meath and on to the legendary Hansa studio in Berlin where Bowie and many other luminaries from the 1970's recorded seminal work. In line with the innovative traditions of the studio the album, is Snow Patrol's most ambitious and exhilarating collection so far; and one in which Lightbody feels his band has, accidentally of course, squared its own circle.In 2009 Snow Patrol continued their success by touring with andThe lead single from (their sixth studio album released on 11/11/11), was, premiered on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show on July 21st 2011 and released on September 2nd. The second single was released on October 14th.
Contents.Background According to Snow Patrol frontman: 'It's near the beginning of a dangerously reliant relationship. The album is full of songs like this. Rather than a break-up record this is a make-up record. That is a massive generalisation but it is a more positive record than the last'.
He has said that 'the song is about a damaging but fulfilling relationship, something that terrifies you, but you can't quite bring yourself to look away'. Reception Critical reception 's Ben Gilbert welcomed the single warmly, giving it 7 stars out of 10. He said that the song was Snow Patrol's return to the UK rock scene 'with the sort of form that would see an ex-con arrested on sight.' Though he criticised the song for being 'too much of a mediocre stretch bearing in mind our location in the year 2006 and the current existence of ', he defended the song saying 'there is a keening momentum and inevitably busted emotional power to Gary Lightbody and co's comeback that suggest all of their dreams are about to come true.'
