Newport, Wales (1992 – present)
Feeder are an award-winning Welsh rock band that formed in Newport, Wales in 1992. By 1995 they released their debut EP Two Colours and a second EP titled Swim, which was followed by their 1997 debut album Polythene, after being met with critical acclaim and made the UK Top 75. Their second album, Yesterday Went Too Soon (1999), again found favour with critics and reached number eight in the UK.
With the lead single “Buck Rogers” from their 2001 album Echo Park, Feeder entered the mainstream, around a time manufactured pop was frequently dominating the top 10. After their breakthrough year, their drummer Jon Lee committed suicide in his Miami home in January 2002. The band vowed to continue and would then in October 2002 release Comfort In Sound; an album musically and lyrically focused around the band’s emotions at the time, and was well-received by critics. Former Skunk Anansie and Little Angels drummer Mark Richardson joined the band in August 2002. Alongside Jon, the band were originally comprised of Grant Nicholas (lead vocals, guitar, piano) and Taka Hirose (bass).
The band have released six studio albums and two compilations, including the platinum-selling singles album. In total they have three platinum albums, two gold albums and one silver in the UK. Their only sales award outside the UK is that of a gold award in the Republic of Ireland for their singles album.

Is there a chance that these guys do some touring outside the British Isles and set foot on the European continent? Would be extremely nice. Especially Pushing the Senses and Comfort in Sound are really good. Feeder, get of that island of yours!

The band that sparked my intrest in music, just about ten years ago with Echo Park. Good to see them still going strong. Great band.

@ackers07 - I don't understand it either. They're a ridiculously good band, but for some reason they just do not appeal to a very wide audience. I don't think they'll ever be forgotten though; the majority of fans (such as myself) remain very loyal to them and will do forever.
