It's probably safe to say anyone who attended U2's first of two nights at Toronto's Rogers Centre as part of their U2 360 Tour will never have a sensory experience like that again. After Snow Patrol warmed the crowd up bored the crowd with a medley of hits from their three most recent albums, singer Bono, guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton...

Snow Patrol — A Hundred Million Suns

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) October 30, 2008 12:21 pm
When Snow Patrol began recording A Hundred Million Suns, their fifth album, they intended to write "less ballads." You'd really never know it. First of all, frontman Gary Lightbody wanted to write an album about being in love. That's a concept that practically screams "ballads," and it's resulted in what's perhaps Snow Patrol's...

Snow Patrol — Eyes Open

in
By James Simons (CHARTattack) May 16, 2006 4:10 pm
Glasgow's Snow Patrol aren't the kind of group you listen to while piercing your eyelid or battling poisonous snakes. No, they're Ford Freestar rock stars, perfect for those tender me-moments between when you drop off the dry cleaning and pick the kids up at gymnastics. Tepid ballad "Chasing Cars" is basically a Celine Dion tune. You can...

Snow Patrol Keep It Short And Sweet

A big thank-you to The Opera House's security for demanding everything short of a passport in exchange for entry to Snow Patrol's Thursday night show. Because of them, another MOR rock concert went off without a single fatal shooting. Thanks, guys! And how about a round of applause for Australian openers End Of Fashion? Once the crowd got...

Sometimes you just need to sit down and have yourself a good cry.

The band consist of R.E.M.'s Peter Buck on guitar, Belle And Sebastian drummer Richard Colburn, and...

Snow Patrol — "Just Say Yes"

By CHARTattack Staff September 24, 2009 10:39 am
The video for Snow Patrol's electronic, synth-laced "Just Say Yes" features the band playing inside a spacey, mental hospital-esque padded bandshell underneath trippy, rave-ish lights. The track will appear on Snow Patrol's upcoming best-of collection, Up To Now, due out Nov. 9.

Snow Patrol "Like The Village People"

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) March 31, 2009 3:05 pm
Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody has taken two years to reply to Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire describing his group as "the most boring band in Britain." (This reminds us of that Seinfeld episode where George Costanza came up with the "jerk store" comeback days after he was insulted by his co-workers.) Wire...

Wanted: Girls To Break Snow Patrol's Heart

By Jen White (CHARTattack) March 26, 2009 2:16 pm
Snow Patrol will start writing material for their sixth album early next year, but not before frontman Gary Lightbody's heart gets broken. The band's latest release, 2008's A Hundred Million Suns, was a departure since Lightbody wrote the tracks from the perspective of a happy relationship. Drummer Jonny Quinn joked that the new album could see...

Snow Patrol Change It Up

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) December 23, 2008 4:40 pm
When it came time to write and record their fifth album, A Hundred Million Suns, Snow Patrol wanted to do a few things differently. The end of the tour cycle for 2006's Eyes Open, which turned them into rock stars, made them wonder what to do next. The result was an album which drummer Jonny Quinn says is very different from previous releases....

Music writer types are officially supposed to be hating on these guys, right?  Thing is, that's kind of like hating vanilla ice cream or hallways painted white. Some things have value just in their relative plain and simpleness.

Snow Patrol's last two albums, 2003's Final Straw and 2006's Eyes Open, turned them into bona fide rock stars. Final Straw was certified quadruple-platinum in the U.K. on the strength of songs like "Spitting Games" and "Run," while Eyes Open sold more than 4.7 million copies worldwide. This kind of success obviously resulted...
