Cool Sounds from Across the Pond
Snow Patrol is a Northern Ireland based alternative post-indie rock band. Formed in Scotland by vocalist/guitarist Gary Lightbody and former bassist/keyboardist Mark McClelland, they achieved sudden success with the Run single after years of obscurity in much the same way as Pulp.
Originally highly lo-fi and guitar-driven, the band generally combine alternative rock with Coldplay style indie to create tasteful tales of relationships good and bad.
Formed in late 1994 as "Shrug", the band started by performing gigs at Dundee University and the surrounding pubs before changing their name to "Polar Bear" (or "Polarbear") in late 1995.
In mid 1997, they released a three-track EP, Starfighter Pilot, on the Electric Honey label. Richard Colburn, from Glaswegian indie band Belle and Sebastian, played drums on this record, and Stuart Murdoch, from the same band, sang on one of the b-sides. Due to legal threats from an American band with the same name (led by Eric Avery, the former bassist of Jane's Addiction), they became "Snow Patrol". (read more)

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
