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.

    @Harper980 i argue that godzilla is a terrible song that taints an otherwise cracking album, and prevents it from being perfect.

    Comfort in Sound is the best, and probably my favourite ever album - it's just perfect.

    yesterday evening

  • spikeyben

    after listening to borders and arms i am finally looking forward to a new feeder album for the first time in about 10 years! glad to have them back writing good rock songs again.

    yesterday evening

  • gui_x

    they are great, i don't know why the most people don't know them

    yesterday afternoon

  • Posh-Josh

    Tiny Minds is a good little song. Looking forward to the new album, hopefully it'll live up to my expectations! Annoyed that it's over 2 months until I can get my hands on it though.

    It's very interesting to see an acoustic version of a track in the top 15 of a chart.

    Sunday evening

  • le_hunt

    love ecko park to bits, this album and Comfort in sound are the soundtrack of my youth.

    Saturday afternoon

  • phxcoyotes

    nothing will ever beat Polythene, one of the greatest albums of the 90s, hands down. [2] Echo Park was amazing aswell.

    nothing will ever beat Polythene, one of the greatest albums of the 90s, hands down.

    Probably one of the most underrated bands out there.

    A new song - search for 'Tiny Minds' - has appeared on iTunes for £0.79. Not sure if it's an error, but it's pretty awesome anyway.

    They've sold out every date on their upcoming tour. so I wouldn't say their fanbase is inexisting.

    BORDERS (Big Teeth Music). The stalwart Welsh rockers give it some woo-oo with this anthemic number dedicated to taking flight;some people just can't stay still. SINGLE REVIEW TAKEN FROM METRO NEWS 30.01.12
