The album touched on many themes of loss and coming to terms with death, although it also explored themes of positivity.
In 2002, the band released their fourth album Comfort in Sound, being their first since the loss of their drummer Jon Lee earlier in the year. The band's sound was radically changed from that of Rain Dancer on their debut release the Two Colours EP (1995), but has since introduced more acoustic aspects to their music, including elements of pianos and string orchestras.įeeder garnered media attention in 2001 for their third album, Echo Park and its lead single " Buck Rogers", which later become a UK Top five single. Since Richardson's departure, Feeder have variously employed drummers Karl Brazil, Damon Wilson, Tim Trotter, and Geoff Holroyde for recording and touring work.įeeder's music has been inspired by a wide variety of artists and styles, including The Police, Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins. In May 2009 he left Feeder to reform Skunk Anansie. Former Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson began to record and play with the band before being made an official member. In January 2002, Jon Lee died by suicide at home in Miami. Feeder's lineup after signing with The Echo Label in the same year of their formation consisted of Grant Nicholas (guitar/vocals) Jon Lee (drums) and Taka Hirose (bass), while demos sent out to radio and venues to gain gigs still featured session bassists. Since the establishment of the Artist Albums Chart in 1989, the band later became one of the few artists to achieve UK top 10 albums in at least four different decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s).Īn original incarnation of the band was formed in 1992 under the name of "Reel" by the remaining members Grant Nicholas, Jon Lee and Simon Blight of electroacoustic group Raindancer, after the departure of their guitarist John Canham, although Simon Blight departed in 1992 to make way for Taka Hirose in 1994, after the band had used many session bassists from 1992 to 1994. Alongside charting twelve Top 75 albums domestically, they also have 25 Top 75 singles. The discography of Feeder, a Cymro-Japanese rock band which formed in 1994, consists of eleven studio albums, twelve compilation albums, four extended plays (EP), and forty singles on The Echo Label, their own label Big Teeth Music, Cooking Vinyl and BMG as well as forty-nine music videos.
