cheers moose , i have to admit i do have a soft spot for "the man who"
But rob's right. Snow Patrol are dreadful wank.
Travis, Aereogramme, Idlewild.
im from the uk, i have to say that snow patrol are wank and boring and weak and uninventive and uninteresting. There very big over here there the kinda band that play low fi businessman rock that people who like ministry of sound samplers can put on and say "oohh yes i like abit of rock" and pretend somehow there music aste has become some what diverse. ok im over ranting
You see what he did with that Mac McMac gag? That's killer. See how he played on the scottish surname prefix and came up with a funny name? That's diamond sharp wit that is.
Jesus & Mary Chain, Teenage Fanclub, Mogwai, Captain America/Eugenius, Vaselines, Delgados, Rezillos, Arab Strap, Belle & Sebastian, Primal Scream, Trashcan Sinatras, BMX Bandits, Cocteau Twins, Associates, James Yorkston, David Byrne - born in Dunfermline, Beta Band, Dawn of the Replicants, Ballboy, Fire Engines, Orange Juice, Boards Of Canada, Ivor Cutler, Waterboys/Mike Scott, Nectarine #9, Mull Historical Society...
Or Runrig, or Fish, or Midge Ure, or Big Country, or the guy that sang
Don't forget The Bay City Rollers!!!
Teenage fanclub, jesus and mary chain, primal scream, Franz Ferdinand, Orange juice, Proclaimers (ha ha ha!)...
Avoid Snow patrol but check out Adrian Moffatts fantastic Whodunnit, last track on the second reindeer section CD.
Shirley Manson is the only member of Garbage from Scotland; MBV's Kevin Shields was born in NYC and moved to Dublin. I forgive you.
Mogwai, arab strap, malcom middelton. I thought Belle & Sebastian were scottish too.
snow patrol are a shitty band, so i keane and the new coldplay song ain't all that.
check out tom�n and wixel.

long live belgium haha
MBV Scottish ? Are you sure...
Uh, Chud, How about Garbage (at least SM), Simple Minds, My Bloody Valentine (to name but three)? All Scottish, all brilliant in their own way. Forgive them, Jeff, for they know not what they say...
Scottish super group? that's funny. That's like saying "best strip-club in Salt Lake City" Whoopee!!
Don't buy Snow Patrol's DVD. That dude cannot sing live. Weak weak voice and off-key quite a bit. I also saw them on Jay Leno, they sucked. The album is very good however.
...the bands that make Coldplay look exciting.
(You forgot
The man behind Snow Patrol was the guy behind The Reindeer Section, the so-called Scotish "Super Group"...put out 2 records of pretty cool stuff, not for everyone, not always straight-ahead...good times...
Fairly decent band; mid-tempo British art pop in the vein of Coldplay, Keane, quiet Radiohead, et al. Check out tracks called "chocolate" and "run'. Huge in England-headlinin festivals and what not. Played NYC sold out show at Roseland 2 weeks ago; decent reviews.
has anyone here heard much from a band called "Snow Patrol?" i saw them coupled with Keane (whom i really like) on some sampler CD the other day, so i Limewired a song just to give it a listen to see if i'd like it... so far kinda straightforward songwriting, but with really weird arrangement and effects. i kinda like it, but thought i'd ask if anyone else has heard more of their stuff and could let me know if it gets worse. cant spend all day D/Ling (56k)
thanks.
