Feeder
Feeder are a British rock band based in Newport, Wales. Feeder has released eight studio albums, three compilations, two EPs, and 34 singles. As one of the few popular British alternative rock bands from the 1990s to remain active during the following two decades, they have spent a total of 166 weeks on the charts as of 2006, and have eight UK Top 40 albums, including six UK Top 10 albums and three Top 5 albums. Three of their albums have been certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry in their first week of release, for shipments of at least 100,000 units. Based on their certifications, the band have sold in excess of 1,360,000 records in the UK alone.
Feeder's music has been inspired by a wide variety of artists and styles, including The Police, Nirvana, and The Smashing Pumpkins. Their early material showcased a heavy rock sound reminiscent of grunge, but the band would later introduce more acoustic aspects into their music, including elements of pianos and string orchestras.
The band was formed in 1992〔 under the name of "Reel" 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 1995,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Memories of Jon Lee )〕 a year after the band signed with The Echo Label.
Feeder garnered media attention in 2001 for their third album, ''Echo Park'', and its lead single, "Buck Rogers", which later become a UK Top 5 single. In January 2002, Jon Lee committed suicide in his Miami home, after which the remaining members began to record and play with former Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson. They released their fourth album, ''Comfort in Sound'', which touched on themes such as loss and coming to terms with death, while also exploring themes of positivity, later that year. It is Feeder's most successful release to date, selling over 500,000 copies in the United Kingdom between October 2002 and April 2012. Richardson was ultimately made an official member, remaining so until May 2009 when he returned to a reformed Skunk Anansie. Feeder employed Australian Damon Wilson and former Mexicolas drummer Tim Trotter for sessions and touring commitments for ''Renegades'' (2010), and they have since employed drummer Karl Brazil. Although the band has dropped out of mainstream attention since releasing their singles album in 2006, they have still charted three more Top 20 albums, with the latest being 2012's ''Generation Freakshow''.
