History
Formation At the age of 14, singer and guitarist Grant Nicholas joined a band called 'Sweet Leaf', named after a Black Sabbath song. Black Sabbath was the first band Grant had seen play live.[2] At this time bassist Taka Hirose and drummer Jon Lee were playing in different covers bands.[2] While playing in different bands on the Newport gig circuit, Grant and Jon became friends. They decided to train to become sound engineers, but found they were more interested in performing instead of recording bands.[3] They formed an electronic duo called Temper Temper after Jon left the Newport band The Darling Buds.[2] Shortly thereafter, they formed a band called Rain Dancer.[2][4] Both of these bands failed to become successful. Rain Dancer's sound was described by Grant as that of The Waterboys.[2] For other uses, see Black Sabbath (disambiguation). ...

Going back to the drawing board, they formed a three piece band called 'Reel'. They fired their bass player and then changed their name to 'Real'.[2] During this time they recruited Japanese bassist Taka Hirose via an advert in Loot.[2] The band then changed their name to Feeder, named after Grant's pet goldfish.[2] They won their recording contract with Echo after sending a demo tape, and then sealed the deal after an employee from the label witnessed one of the band's gigs.[5] A track from the demo, entitled "Don't Bring Me Down", appeared as a b-side on the "Day in Day Out" single, but uses an electric guitar as opposed to an acoustic as heard on the released version.[6] A recording contract (commonly called a record deal) is a legal agreement between a record label and a recording artist (or group), where the artist makes a record (or series of records) for the label to sell and promote. ...

Early releases (1995–1996) Feeder's first official release was a two track EP, Two Colours, in 1995, which was only available at the band's early gigs. It was limited to 1500 CDs and 1000 7" vinyls, and today is valued at £40-60.[7] In 1996, the band released their first commercially available release, the Swim EP, on the Echo label. The EP was given a 4/5 review in Kerrang! magazine (KKKK).[8] This was Feeders first release on The Echo Label. ...

Shortly before the record was released, a tape called Two Tracker was given away free with Kerrang! magazine, and contained the tracks "Sweet 16" and "Waterfall". The latter was described, on the inlay card, as one of the tracks that was on their forthcoming debut album proper, then entitled Here In The Bubble (whose name was soon changed to Polythene).[9] Some of the photography for the EP's inlay was produced by Grant himself, while Chris Sheldon produced the album.[10] The band released "Stereo World" from the record as its only single, after appearing at the Reading festival. These releases led to the band's tour, during which they visited seaside towns like Newquay.[11] Chris Sheldon is a record producer, particularly of rock music, based in London, UK. He has produced or mixed records for the Foo Fighters, Feeder, Biffy Clyro and Reuben amongst others. ...

Polythene (1997–1998) After building a strong fanbase with the release of Swim,[12] the band released their first full-length album in 1997. The result, Polythene, is now widely regarded as a classic by Kerrang! magazine readers, as they voted it the 87th best British rock album of all time in a January 2005 issue.[13] Two tracks from "Swim" were used for the albums, "Descend" and "Stereoworld".

This was followed by "Cement", charting at #53 and then the release of the album which charted at #65. Two more singles were released alongside of their main stage debut at the Reading festival of 1997, with "Crash" making #48, A new song entitled, "High", charted at #24.

Also included as an enhanced element was the video for "High". The album caused many critics to label the band "The UK's answer to the Smashing Pumpkins",[15] and also draw comparisons to The Pixies and Talk Talk.[12] The band's tour of the album took place in April before the release of the "Cement" single, and continued after the release of the album. The band's earlier sound on the album was once described by Grant as "heavy but melodic rock".[16] The British Phonographic Industry was founded in 1973 to represent the interests of British music companies and to fight the growing problem of music piracy. ...

In early 1998, following the band's final 1997 tour in support of Polythene, the band travelled to the United States as a support act for Everclear.[17] During their U.S. tour, the band released a re-worked version of "Suffocate" back home in the UK, charting at #37. After their return to the UK, they played their own headline tour, this time Everclear was in the supporting position.[17] Later that year, Feeder started to play various music festivals in the States, before a tour took place with "High" being released to radio stations and charting at #24; it was the follow up to "Cement" which had charted at #31.[18] During the first US tour, Grant said he used to get very tired and sometimes could not wait to return home to work on the next album.[19] Grant toured with a broken ankle and other injuries,[20][21] and he said he used to find it hard to sleep at nights, which inspired him to write "Insomnia", which later appeared on their second album.[22] They stayed in the U.S. for the majority of the year, with a trip back to the UK for their V98 appearance. Feeder later introduced a live guitarist, Dean Tidey, who plays at the band's gigs.[23] Grant had said, in a 1998 interview in Kerrang!, that he was considering bringing in another guitarist for their live gigs.[24] Polythene sold 25,000 copies in the States during 1998.[19] Everclear is a rock band formed in Portland, Oregon, USA, in 1992. ...

Yesterday Went Too Soon (1999) For 1999's Yesterday Went Too Soon, the band decided to self-produce the album, brought in Matt Sime for engineering duties and had the album mixed in New York by Andy Wallace.[25] "Dry" was re-recorded as a full band version after the original acoustic version appeared on "Suffocate" as a b-side. That single's b-sides featured tracks from their sessions for the album and revealed the sound of this new album.[26] The working title for the album was originally A Life Through Headphones,[24] and was originally set to be a double album.[19] The name change was due to former Take That singer Robbie Williams releasing his solo debut album, Life Thru a Lens; the band did not want to be associated with him.[27] This article is about the state. ...

When the album was released, the band's reputation was on the rise and it entered the UK charts at #8. Before that, the band had released the album's first single, "Day in Day Out", in March 1999, which charted at #31, followed by "Insomnia" at #22, resulting in their first appearance on TOTP. A week before the album's release, the band played the main stage of the Reading-Leeds festival, while the title track from the album was at #20 in the singles chart. The album was then released on August 30, 1999. Only one single was lifted from the album, in which a re-recorded version of "Paperfaces" charted at #41.

Some of the album's lyrical themes were derived from Grant's person's perspective of working in a menial supermarket job on a daily basis("Day In Day Out"), his experiences after gigs on their US tour ("Insomnia", "You're My Evergreen"), past relationships (the title track and "Dry"), the music industry ("Hole in My Head") and "fear of commitment in relationships" ("Anaesthetic").[28][29] Musically, the album employed an indie rock feel to it, which also featured extended appearances of an acoustic guitar on some of its tracks.[30] Acoustic guitar can refer to the following musical instruments: Nylon and gut stringed guitars: Renaissance guitar Baroque guitar Romantic guitar Classical guitar, the modern version of the original guitar, with nylon strings Flamenco guitar Steel stringed guitars: Steel-string acoustic guitar, also known as western, folk or country guitar Twelve...
The album was due for release in June, but this was delayed until August to include material written after its completion which the band felt was too good to leave off.[31] Upon its release, the UK music press immediately warmed to the album, with Rob Fitzpatrick, then of Melody Maker, writing "an absolute stormer it is. Unmissable. Absolutely." The album also received the magazine's Album of the Week accolade.[32][33] This enthusiasm was shared by Metal Hammer, who awarded the album a 10/10 mark.[33] The year ended with the band providing support for the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Wembley Arena and the Manic Street Preachers at the Millennium Stadium. As of March 2003, the album had gone gold, shipping 100,000 units in the UK.[14] The album was voted in 2005 by Kerrang! readers, as the 73rd best British Rock album of all-time.[13] This article is about the music newspaper. ...

Echo Park (2000–2001) Feeder spent most of 2000, at Great Lindford Manor studios, writing and recording for their next album. The band also continued playing festivals around the country previewing the new material they were working on, such as V2000 and Glastonbury, but would end the year promoting "Buck Rogers", their first single since November 1999, and then playing a mini-tour at the end of the year to mainly showcase the new material. The same night the band played the Leeds Cockpit in December 2000, they were told earlier on in the day that their new single had made the Radio 1 A-list, meaning it would be given a high degree of airplay rotation.[16] The release of the single on January 8, 2001 was coupled with a signing session at London's Tower Records store, and then TV appearances on Top of The Pops and The Pepsi Chart Show, due to the single's midweek performance.[16] This saw the band being forced to cancel two signing sessions as a result.[16] The single charted at #5, becoming the band's first top 10 entry in that chart. In South Africa, the track was very well received by radio DJ's, reaching #1 on the 5FM top 40 and headining a one-day event celebrating the station's 26th birthday.[34] The track is also still played on UK radio today.[35] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 800 × 599 pixelsFull resolution (1251 × 936 pixel, file size: 125 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Feeder at a signing of the Turn single in July 2001 at a Virgin Megastore in Nottingham, England. ...

Not really, I think with the radio thing you have to be really careful; at the end of the day Feeder's not a typical daytime radio band, but what we've done is that we've proved that a guitar band - a British guitar band, and a band that doesn't have the profile of U2 or someone can still get into the top ten. It is possible!, it just seems to be that its always the big Amercian bands who sort of dominate the top ten; a Limp Bizkit or whatever, but saying that I think the whole Travis and Coldplay thing has been really good as sort of a stepping stone, and also I think people are getting fed up of just seeing Westlife or Steps on the TV. I think people are finding rock, and real bands again - I think that the market is currently so bombarded with pop stuff that we're just quite refreshing.

— Grant Nicholas in Feederweb fanzine, responding to a question asking if he felt under pressure to create another radio-friendly song.[36] Grant once said that the song is about a relationship ending, but also uses humour,[16] with the name for the song originating from a keyboard piece Grant created which sounded "futuristic", and named it "Buck Rogers".[16] Grant had originally written the track for an American band called 'Radio Star', but was convinced by producer Gil Norton not to give the song away as he felt Feeder themselves could have a hit with it.[37] The single appears in many all-time lists generated by XFM and Kerrang!, with a 2004 peak of #25 in the annual XFM list.[38][39] "Buck Rogers" is featured on the soundtrack of the 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines, starring Owen Wilson.

The album saw the band take on much more of a commercially influenced sound, and also the appearance of Moog synthesizers,[40] while being lyrically focused on a comedic approach, like with "Seven Days in the Sun", but also dark emotions, such as those shown on "Turn", "Oxygen", and "Satellite News". It was during the campaign for Echo Park that the band played another slot on the main stage at the Reading-Leeds festival. As of August 2003, the album has shipped 300,000 units in the UK, going platinum.[14] The term Moog(pronounced // as in moan) synthesizer can refer to any number of analog synthesizers designed by Dr. Robert Moog or manufactured by Moog Music, and is commonly used as a generic term for analog and digital music synthesisers. ...

Grant said in a Melody Maker interview that if the album did not sell well enough the band would probably split up; he said at the time that "It's the same with any band. That's just the way the music business is. There is only a certain amount of money a label will put into a band. I'm just being realistic. We've been around for seven or eight years and I am not planning on giving up, but we're putting everything into this record and I'm just hoping that people like it".[40] The album was voted the 25th best British rock album of all-time by Kerrang! readers, and was the highest placed Feeder album on the list.[13] On August 28, 2001 the band won Best British Live Act at the Kerrang! awards,[41] before ending the year supporting the Stereophonics on their UK tour, and then releasing the "Just a Day" single in December. Stereophonics are a rock band from Wales with members Kelly Jones, Richard Jones (no relation to Kelly) and Javier Weyler. ...
Comfort in Sound (2002–2003) In 2002, the band's drummer Jon Lee committed suicide in his Miami home,[42] resulting in the band keeping out of the public eye for most of the year. It was during this time that Grant Nicholas wrote a series of songs relating to their emotions and reactions to Jon's death, which formed their fourth album Comfort in Sound. The band brought in former Skunk Anansie and Little Angels member Mark Richardson for drumming duties.[43] The album focused mainly on themes such as loss, depression, grievance, and positivity, while dedicating "Quickfade" to Jon.[44] The album was released in October of the same year to widespread critical acclaim in the British music press, with Kerrang! stating that "Comfort in Sound harnesses the anthemic appeal of a latter day U2... and a quality that propels Feeder from the confines of the everyday into the neighbourhood of everyman..." and giving the album their Album of the Week award, alongside the heavy rock magazine Metal Hammer giving the album the similar accolade of Album of the Month while stating that it was "an album they should rightfully be proud of...".[45] The band decided to play at the Reading-Leeds festivals that year, making a low-key appearance by playing the second stage. Comfort in Sound was voted by Kerrang! readers as one of their top 100 British rock albums of all-time at #32, while being the highest-placed 2002 album on the list.[13] The Newport Centre is the biggest leisure centre in the city of Newport in the United Kingdom. ...

It’s one of the best songs I’ve done, but we nearly didn’t do it. I wrote it right at the end of making Comfort in Sound, and our producer Gil Norton said he wasn’t sure we really needed another mid-tempo song. But when we played it, we all thought that it definitely did have something. Lyrically it’s quite dark but it’s still an uplifting song. This was the single that really made the album a success. It’s the kind of song I’d like us to be remembered for. Comfort in Sound is the fourth full-length album by the British Rock/Pop band Feeder. ...
— Grant Nicholas on the second Comfort in Sound single, "Just the Way I'm Feeling".[42] Musically, the album was much more mellow, with the use of a string orchestra on "Forget About Tomorrow". Other tracks on the album also used an accordion, trumpet, and a piano played by their manager Matt Page,[42][46] with "Godzilla" being one of two tracks on the album to use loud guitars. This caused Feeder Fan Site to suggest it didn't fit in with the main feel of the album, stating that "As a package CIS is almost as well formed as Yesterday Went Too Soon. The playlist is spot on (Godzilla being the only track that sits, not entirely sure if it really belongs)".[47] The album was their first release to be certified platinum,[14] (with Echo Park going platinum later on). It also spawned their second top 10 single, with "Just the Way I'm Feeling" in January 2003. In December of the same year they took on their first and only arena tour to date, after the album's first tour sold all it's 60,000 tickets.[48] In reaction to this, the band were invited to the Glastonbury Festival being billed third on the last day, playing the "Pyramid Stage".[49] A string orchestra is an orchestra composed solely of stringed instruments. ...

Pushing the Senses (2004–2005) Feeder returned to the studio to record their fifth album. The album was seen by Grant as more of an extension to Comfort in Sound, as it focused on the same lyrical themes and musical styles, and also said that it had more of an organic sound, with more upbeat tracks added into the mix.[58] It also seen a number of piano driven tracks, with "Frequency" being an example.[59] "Frequency" was produced by Coldplay producer Ken Nelson.

As a result, 2005's Pushing the Senses received criticism from long time fans and critics.

The album helped them win a headline slot at the Download Festival, appearing above Garbage in the billing order,[62] shortly before supporting U2 for a brief period on their Vertigo tour, which was followed by an appearance at the Live 8 concert in Edinburgh (the second charity event the band played that year after Tsunami Relief in Cardiff). The album in total spawned four UK top 40 singles, which included "Shatter", a reworked version of the "Tumble and Fall" b-side that became a double A-side with "Tender" (#11). Other singles apart from "Tumble and Fall" (#5), included "Feeling A Moment" (#13), and "Pushing The Senses" (#30). "Tender" and "Shatter" both featured on the European release of the Russian film Night Watch; a fan-petition had been launched to see its release as a single in its own right.[63] The Download Festival is a three day music festival held annually at the spiritual home of rock music in England: Donington Park (which hosted the Monsters of Rock Festivals between 1980 and 1996, and 2002s Ozzfest). ...

In September 2005, Grant Nicholas was misquoted in an interview that the band were set to split, which caused the rumour to be reported on music television and radio. The band's website soon denied the claims, making an official statement that read "Contrary to inaccurate reports in the press and on the radio, Feeder are not recording their last album, nor set to split. An over-enthusiastic reporter seems to have put 2 and 2 together and come up with 43. Indeed the group are looking forward to the release of new single "Shatter"/"Tender" in October and a Far East and UK tour in November. They have already started writing new material for a Singles Album to be released in the New Year and a further studio album to follow the current album Pushing the Senses".[64] Soon afterwards, in a Kerrang! interview, Grant said that the interviewer misquoted him, and that he said the next album would be Feeder's last album on their current deal with Echo, before deciding to either re-sign or look for a new label.[65] A misquotation is an accidental or intentional misrepresentation of a persons speech or writing, involving one or more of: Omission of important context: The context can be important for determining the overall argument the quoted person wanted to make, for seeing whether the quoted statement was restricted or even...

The Singles (2006–2007) I’ve had people coming up to me saying that they liked the earlier singles but didn’t realise it was us that did them. It’s introduced a lot of our earlier singles to people. We’d had success early on but we weren’t huge. I thought the record had good tracks and the three new tracks made it completely new for our older fans. It took me a long time to sequence the album to make sure it flowed together properly. It wasn’t just a matter of shoving a load of singles on there. — Grant Nicholas talking in 2006 on the sales performance of The Singles.[69] In 2006, Feeder returned to the studio, with Stephen Street working as the band's producer to record three new tracks to appear on their then forthcoming singles collection.[70] "Lost and Found" (which Grant described as "an urban love song"[42]) became the first single to promote the collection, and would reach #12 in the UK singles chart in May 2006, after completing their delayed winter tour. The Singles, released in the same month as "Lost and Found", was the first Feeder album to have involvement from a major label, with EMI talking part in a one-off collaboration with Echo as the album's distributor.[71] The album reached #2 on the UK albums chart, and was certified platinum in under three months, including a gold certification in Ireland.[14][72] "Save Us" was the second and final single from the album, charting at #34 in late July.
