Feeder is another one of those British bands that are inexplicably not huge in the U.S. They write great songs that rival U.K. counterparts Coldplay and Snow Patrol, but are not that well known. Some might remember their song “High” from the soundtrack of the movie Can’t Hardly Wait. That song originally appeared on their 1997 debut Polythene. Since then they’ve released four albums, only two of which were released in the States. I had heard “High” back in the day and it remained somewhere in my subconscious, but I didn’t really get into Feeder until I heard their 2003 album Comfort In Sound. Last year they released a greatest hits album called The Singleswhich is a great introduction if you’re not familiar with them. Their last studio record, Pushing the Senses, came out in the U.K. in 2005 and it’s by far my favorite. It’s succinct at only ten songs, but they make every one count. Feeder has all the great elements of Brit-Pop without the pretentiousness of Coldplay. They also show they are not afraid to rock, such as on today’s song, the title track from Pushing the Senses.
