Feeder are a British rock[6] band formed in Newport in 1994. They have released 12 studio albums, 12 compilations, four EPs and 43 singles, spending a combined total of 184 weeks on the singles and albums charts as of 2019, while accumulating 25 top 75 singles between 1997 and 2012. At the peak of their commercial success, Feeder won two Kerrang! Awards in 2001 and 2003; they were inducted into their Hall of Fame in August 2019.[7]
Feeder are one of the Britpop-era bands to have continued success long after their peak. Their 2019 album Tallulah debuted at number four, more than two decades after the group formed, and 20 years after their first top 10 album Yesterday Went Too Soon.
The band was formed in 1994,[8] although an earlier incarnation under the name of "Reel" was formed in 1992 by vocalist and guitarist Grant Nicholas, drummer Jon Lee and bassist Simon Blight, three of the four members of Raindancer, after the departure of that band's other member, guitarist John Canham. However, Blight left Reel later in 1992, and the band played with many session bassists before hiring Taka Hirose in 1994 and re-establishing themselves as Feeder;[9] that year, the band signed with The Echo Label.
Feeder garnered media attention in 2001 for their third album,
Based on certifications alone, Feeder's overall track consumption in the UK is that of one million.
History
Early years (1994–1996)
In 1994, Reel/Real's bass player, Julian Smith, left the group.
In 1995, Feeder recorded their first EP,
Polythene and Yesterday Went Too Soon (1997–1999)
Feeder's debut album,
Feeder would go on to release three further singles from Polythene, "Tangerine" (charting at No. 60 in the UK singles chart.[20]) and "Cement" (No. 53), "Crash" (No. 48). In October 1997, Feeder released their breakthrough single "High", which charted at No. 24.[20] They also reissued Polythene, adding "High" to the track listing, along with some other changes.
In early 1998 Feeder toured the United States as a support act for
In March 1999, Feeder returned with a new single, "Day In Day Out", which charted at No. 31. Two more singles followed, "Insomnia" in May (charting at No. 22 and resulting in their first appearance on Top of the Pops[20][22]) and "Yesterday Went Too Soon" in August (charting at No. 20). That summer, Feeder added guitarist Dean Tidey to their live band.[23] They performed on the main stage of the Reading and Leeds festivals.
The album Yesterday Went Too Soon was released on 30 August. Yesterday Went Too Soon entered the UK albums chart at No. 8,[20] an unexpected position for the band.[24]
The UK music press warmed
In November, Feeder released a final single from the album, a re-recorded version of "Paperfaces", which charted at No. 41.[20] The year ended with the band supporting the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Wembley Arena and Manic Street Preachers at the Millennium Stadium.
Echo Park and mainstream breakthrough (2000–2001)
Feeder spent most of 2000 writing and recording for their next album. They previewed new material at festivals around the country, including V2000 and
Grant wrote "Buck Rogers" with The Pixies as an influence, but "on a comic book level".[31] He had originally written the track for another band with whom Echo Park producer Gil Norton was working, but decided not to give it away, for he felt Feeder themselves could have a hit with it.[31][32] "Buck Rogers" still receives regular airplay on alternative radio stations in the United Kingdom.[33] Kerrang!'s writers also approved of the track as one of their "666 Songs You Must Own", when it appeared at No. 5 in their rock songs list in November 2004.[34]
After a sell-out tour of two legs ending at the London Astoria, the album Echo Park entered at number five in the UK album charts, shortly after "Seven Days in the Sun", the album's second single charted at No. 14.[20] Shortly before the single's release, the band's rise up to the mainstream was recognised by the now defunct Scottish Television live music show Boxed Set, where a half-hour-long live-set with a studio audience was played. A third single, "Turn" reached No. 27 in July before festival season.[20] "Just a Day", a b-side from "Seven Days in the Sun", later reached No. 12 in December.[20] The response the album received on a critical level was mixed, with Dan Genroe of Q magazine claiming that the listener will still be "feeling hungry half an hour later",[35] alongside suggesting that the album is "hard to love".[35] Ben Myers of Kerrang! gave the album 4/5 (KKKK) which indicates "blinding", while citing that the band "hit their stride" on the album,[36] alongside suggesting that the album is "fat free and stripped to the bone".[36]
The album saw the band adopt a more 'commercial' sound, also incorporating synthesizers.[37] Lyrically, Echo Park contains both a comedic approach, as with "Seven Days in the Sun", and 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 and Leeds festival, including T in the Park. As of August 2003, the album has shipped 300,000 units in the UK going platinum, with counter sales standing at 293,000 as of February 2005.[28][29] 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".[37] The album campaign helped the band in August 2001 win the "Best British Live Act" accolade at the Kerrang! awards,[38] before ending the year supporting the Stereophonics, and then releasing the "Just a Day" single in December. In February 2015, "Buck Rogers" gained a silver certification for 200,000 physical sales, digital downloads and streaming points combined. Two years later, "Just a Day" also passed 200,000 sales.
In July 2001, Feeder's EP Swim was
Jon Lee's death and Comfort in Sound (2002–2003)
In January 2002,
The album focused mainly on themes such as loss, depression, grief and positivity, while dedicating "Quickfade" to Jon.
Musically, Comfort in Sound is mellower than Feeder's previous albums, with the use of a
The album's final single,
Pushing the Senses (2004–2005)
Feeder returned to the studio to record their fifth album Pushing the Senses. 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.[61] It contains a number of piano-driven tracks, "Frequency" being an example. "Frequency" was produced by Coldplay producer Ken Nelson, while for the rest of the album, Gil Norton was on production duties.[62] Grant told Kerrang! in May 2004, "I've done some recording on my own in a little studio up by where I live in North London. I demo the album in its full form before the rest of the band play on it. Its difficult to know at this stage what it will turn out like, but so far its slightly more mature sounding". Grant later added "Each album is a journey and a reflection of the past, there is some stuff that touches on what has happened, but there are songs about love, songs of loss and songs about the future. I don't want to give too much away but there's one track called "Bitter Glass". Its quite dark but uplifting too. Its about pulling yourself out of a big hole".[63]
The album was Feeder's highest-charting release, at number two on the UK album chart selling 42,951 units in its first week,
The album helped them secure a headline slot at 2005's Download Festival.[68] Shortly afterwards, Feeder supported U2 for a brief period on their Vertigo Tour, then played at the Live 8 concert in Edinburgh (the second charity event the band played that year after Tsunami Relief Cardiff).
The campaign in total spawned four UK top 40 singles, which included "
Feeder would end the year seeing their then latest album appear at No. 39 on Q's end-of-year list,[74] with "Feeling a Moment" voted the 98th best song of the year by its readers.[74] However, on 3 December 2005, they were forced to postpone a winter tour, after Grant picked up bleeds on his vocal cords the night before during a gig in Brighton, causing the show to be abandoned and later rescheduled along with the rest of the outstanding dates.[75] During the year, Feeder's domestic studio album sales passed the one million units mark.[28][44]
The Singles and Silent Cry (2006–2008)
In late 2005, Feeder already returned to the studio, with
In 2006 Feeder announced in an interview with XFM that their next album would be reminiscent of their earlier material.
In May 2008, the band played an eight-date tour to promote Silent Cry. Tickets sold out in six hours.
After ending their tour at the
Mark Richardson's and Dean Tidey's departures and Renegades (2009–10)
After starting 2009 with two warm-up shows for their tour of Japan in Scarborough and Crewe (which was a rescheduled gig from the previous tour and had appeared on early promotional posters), the band later on in May announced that Feeder had "ended their partnership" with drummer Mark Richardson, who returned to his original band Skunk Anansie.[103] Mark was replaced by session drummer Karl Brazil who had just come off tour with James Blunt,[104] and had also played drums for British band Ben's Brother.[104] Karl's first live appearances with the band, after a series of university events were at the UK leg of the Sonisphere Festival, stating that this would be their only UK festival appearance of 2009, as they would be working on their seventh studio album.[105] It was then later announced that they would be appearing at the Hevy Music Festival in Folkestone.[105] Here they previewed a new track titled "Sentimental", with the announcement that they had been in a recording studio in South Wales.
At first, Tim Trotter then of Mexicolas was filling in on drum duties in the studio also as a session drummer, before Karl stepped in.
In an April 2010 interview with South Yorkshire newspaper The Star, Grant expressed his disappointment with the side-project band's sudden increase in success and awareness, in which he claimed that he wanted the band to continue playing in clubs with a slower ascendency to the bigger venues.[109] The tour promoter however suggested that Renegades should play slightly bigger venues for the second tour than of those seen on their debut.[109] Looking back on this version of the band, Grant Nicholas explained in an interview with Culture Deluxe, that the project was not a big marketing plan, but announced it without saying exactly what was happening. Some people thought it was a name change, Grant recording a solo album, while others got the idea from the start. He described problems with promoters printing "Feeder" on the tickets, leading to a misunderstanding that a more mainstream set was expected.[110]
After completing their second and final tour as Renegades, the band then announced their new single "
After a tour of Japan which saw
Side By Side and Generation Freakshow (2011–2012)
In 2010, during the Renegades sessions, a number of tracks were left off the album before then being considered for inclusion for the follow-up.[119]
In March 2011, Feeder released "
The week after the album's release, "Children of the Sun" was released as the album's second single. It did not chart. The album's title track was due to be a single, but was later pulled despite promotional CDs already being pressed and sent to radio. "Idaho" became the third single from the album, released on 27 August.[125] Like "Children of the Sun", it also failed to chart.[citation needed]
All Bright Electric and Tallulah (2015–2021)
On 15 June the band released "Universe of Life", the lead single for All Bright Electric, which was released on 7 October 2016. This was followed on 26 August by the single "Eskimo", along with its music video. Both singles were released free for people who pre-ordered the album. After the band completed their UK tour between September and October 2016, All Bright Electric saw Feeder return to the top 10 of the album chart after an eight-year absence.[citation needed]
In July 2017, the band announced the compilation
On 9 August 2019, Feeder released their tenth studio album, Tallulah, before releasing a non-album single, "Criminal" on 1 November of that same year. Although this single failed to chart, the album became the band's most successful studio album in 14 years, due to charting at No.4 on the UK album chart on its release week. Reviews were limited, but four out of the five it received from major sources were positive.[citation needed]
Torpedo (2022–2023)
After the success of Tallulah[126][127] Nicholas and Hirose immediately began work on a follow up album.[128] The two wrote and recorded an album's worth of material across late 2019 and early 2020, with the album being largely complete outside of final audio mixing.[128] However, progress halted with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.[128] Frustrated, Nicholas and Hirose turned to writing further material instead.[129] Early sessions written during the COVID lockdown were slow, with Nicholas suffering with a case of writer's block.[130] Eventually, his pent up frustration with both the state of the world, and his writer's block, lead to an outpouring of content, enough for two album's worth of material.[130] The material was separated into two batches; the material written second - during the COVID lockdown - was put together to make up the Torpedo album, while the earlier, pre-COVID material, was put together for a later 2023 release on a yet-to-be-titled twelfth album.[128][131] Torpedo, has subsequently been released as of 18 March 2022.[132] The album would later chart at No.5 on the album charts, giving the band for the first time in their career consecutive Top 5 albums, and their second No.1 in a row on the Official Record Store Chart.
Black/Red (2023-present)
In October 2023, the band announced a new album, and released two singles on the same day, "Playing With Fire" and "Elf".[133] Black/Red was released on 5 April 2024. It the band's first double album, completing a trilogy begun with Torpedo. Nicholas explained of the album: "I really wanted the album to be split in two parts for the listener, CD1 and CD2, black and red rather than be one long player, almost like a musical production with an interval."[134][135]
Sales and legacy
Between 1997 and 2012, Feeder accumulated 25 top 75 singles when guest singles are excluded. They have headlined many of the UK's major venues, such as Wembley Arena, Birmingham National Indoor Arena, Birmingham LG Arena, Bournemouth International Centre and the Cardiff International Arena.
Feeder's overall album sales stand at 1,957,016 in the United Kingdom, as of 6 October 2017.[136] Their second-highest selling release is 2002's Comfort in Sound, shifting over 506,000 units in the UK. As of October 2017, The Singles has sold 524,000 copies. In the UK, Feeder has accumulated seven gold and platinum records. Gold records in Ireland for The Singles, Comfort in Sound and Echo Park brings their worldwide total to ten. In 2020, "Buck Rogers" received a Gold award for 400,000 UK consumption sales, 19 years after its release. 2001's "Just a Day" was certified Silver in 2017 for 200,000 consumption sales. That same year also seen 1997's Polythene, receive a Gold award from the BPI for sales of 100,000; almost 20 years to its release date.
Despite having dropped out of mainstream radio play since 2008, Silent Cry reached No. 8 on the UK albums chart in its first week of release, with 16,000 units sold. It has sold less than 50,000 units to date according to Chrysalis, the owners of the now defunct Echo Label. The Silent Cry tour was Feeder's longest, playing 29 dates, with many selling out. Nevertheless, Silent Cry remains Feeder's first album not to achieve at least gold status.
2010's Renegades was less successful. It entered the UK chart at No. 16 – Feeder's first album since 1997's Polythene not to chart within the Top 10 – and dropped out after 2 weeks. However, the charting of Renegades, marked the third decade in which a Feeder album had been released and charted at least in the Top 20. This marked their 6th studio album to appear in the Top 20 and the band's 9th album to appear on the chart regardless of position over the course of their career. The album also debuted at No. 1 on the Official UK Rock Albums chart.[111] Still, Renegades has yet to accumulate sales that approach or eclipse any of their other studio albums before this. 2012 follow-up Generation Freakshow, charted higher at No. 13 although on lower debut week sales, before 2016 saw the band return to the top 10 with All Bright Electric, then less than 12 months later appeared in the top 10 again, with The Best of Feeder in 2017. 2019's Tallulah, became the band's first top 5 studio album since 2005's Pushing the Senses.
Feeder are also one of Wales' most popular rock bands. In October 2003, the bass guitar that Taka Hirose played in the video for "Seven Days in the Sun" was added to the Hard Rock Cafe in Cardiff.
Feeder have also gained a cult following in Japan. Their most recent seven studio albums have all charted in the top 200. Their most successful of these is 2008's Silent Cry charting at No. 53, although their most successful and only top 40 entry to date is their 2006 singles compilation, meaning the band have charted eight albums regardless of format.
In April 2012, Total Guitar praised the band, writing that "all the way from their first release, the Two Colours EP in 1995, through tragedy and triumph, he's [Grant] gone the distance with Feeder, while other British alternative rock bands of the 90s crashed or faded".[137]
They were inducted into Kerrang's Hall of Fame in August 2019. Their induction came two months after Grant presented Skunk Anansie with their Hall of Fame award at the Kerrang Awards ceremony. This event marked the first time in ten years that Grant Nicholas had shared the same stage with former drummer Mark Richardson.
