Dundee, United Kingdom (1994 – present)
Snow Patrol are an alternative rock band which formed in Dundee, Scotland in 1994 and currently based in Bangor, Northern Ireland, where most of the band members are from. They consist of Gary Lightbody (vocals, guitar), Nathan Connolly (guitar, vocals), Paul Wilson (bass), Tom Simpson (keyboards) and Johnny Quinn (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 Eyes Open and the ballad “
Chasing Cars” - a song that has spent a near-record breaking 90 weeks on the UK Top 75. Some of their other well known songs are Run, Spitting Games, You’re All I Have, Hands Open and Take Back The City.
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.

Yes her voice is so high pitched and obnoxious. I even saw a video on youtube where the uploader had decreased the pitch of her voice to make it sound better. If they were going to do a duo they should have alternated verses rather than singing together the whole time. I'm a huge snow patrol fan and have been listening to them since songs for polar bears, but I really think that song had way more potential. I enjoy Gary's voice. I have never heard of Martha Wainright until this song and I think she is a bit out of her genre here as she is supposed to be a "folk" singer and her voice just took away from the mellow sound that snow patrol was trying to portray in this song.
