About

Feeder are a Welsh rock band formed in 1994. The band have released 12 albums selling over a million copies domestically, despite never having signed to a major recording label in the UK. In August 2019, they were inducted into The Kerrang! Hall of Fame.

Although the band formed in 1994, they performed under an earlier incarnation of "Reel", which 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; that year, 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 became a UK top five Platinum-selling single. Jon Lee died by suicide at his Miami home in January 2002, 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, later that year. Richardson was ultimately made an official member, remaining so until May 2009 when he returned to a reformed Skunk Anansie. Feeder have since worked with a roster of drummers live and in the studio, including Tim Trotter, Damon Wilson, Karl Brazil and former Elviss drummer Geoff Holroyde. Between 2010 and 2024, the band charted seven more top 20 albums, with the latest of these being 2024's Black / Red, their fifth consecutive top 10 album. In 2019, the band signed a deal with Believe UK to release their tenth studio album, Tallulah. The band released their eleventh studio album, titled Torpedo, in 2022. Their twelfth studio album, a double album titled Black/Red, was released in 2024.

Feeder est un groupe de rock indépendant formé à Londres en 1991. Il était initialement formé de Grant Nicholas et Jon Lee, tous deux originaires de Newport au Pays de Galles, et se nommait Temper Temper. Ils seront rejoints en 1992 par Taka Hirose, un bassiste japonais, pour former Feeder.

Le groupe prend son envol avec une signature chez Echo en 1995, puis avec le succès de leur second EP, Swim sorti l'année suivante qui leur permis de décrocher une tournée aux États-Unis. Ils prirent l'habitude de jouer devant un public de plus en plus important, sur les scènes indie en donnant des concerts toujours énergiques de style punk. La sortie de leur album Echo Park en 2001 les propulsa sur le devant de la scène musicale britannique et internationale. Le décès de Jon Lee début 2002 leur fit prendre un chemin différent vers des chansons plus mélodiques se rapprochant de la pop.

Leur dernier album, All Bright Electric, est sorti le 7 octobre 2016.
