i've been downloading a few songs by them, and there really good! well..i think so anyway, anyone else heard them? they've been around for a while, but it seems their suddenly getting popular
Yeah... I've got the album and I think it's very good... "Run" has to be up there with my fave songs coz I love that epic stuff... good band... hey, playing "Sptting Games" in school bought me some cool points from some GCSE kids... Fly... .
Oooo Snow Patrol!!! I like them and they are very catchy also I really do think they are grand I've not heard their album ... yet! Grand!
I saw them live in about 2000 a couple of times in Edinburgh doing an acoustic gig supporting Low and then properly supporting Grandaddy. I thought they were terrible! They've been bubbling around being sort of cool for many years though ... funny, I never really liked them until I heard their new stuff like "Run" and "Spitting Games" which suddenly made them very popular. Usually it's the other way around; as soon as anyone other than me has heard of a band I start hating them, being quite an insufferable music snob!
They were shite for a very long time, until they suddenly got good, and then a few months later Run appeared and now they're mainstream. I've seen them in very intimate gigs and they were very very good, but this is after they actually got their act together and stopped producing utter shite.
Listened to the 'Final Straw' album in full for the first time today. It's not bad, can't say I found anything on there that special though. I'd like to hear some of their earlier stuff, that Zane Lowe chap has been going on for years about them. And he had pretty good taste until he went all rap.
Nah I don't think so. He used to present an 'alternative music' show on MTV called Brand:New. It was a great show, introduced me to Super Furry Animals, Royksopp, The Avalanches, The Supernaturals... Anyway I popped the radio on last week and there was the Zane Lowe show, he was all 'street' preaching about 50 Cent, Jay Z and the like.
