Tour Information At a time when most bands come and go almost too quickly to even notice, Feeder are a welcome, all-too-rare exception to the norm. First formed sixteen years ago, they are stronger today both in creative terms and as a band than they have ever been. They remain equally passionate about their music now as then and are still driven to ensure more and more people hear what they do. Furthermore, they have weathered the sort of ups and downs that often destroy lesser bands yet, crucially, continued to forge their own path regardless of passing scenes or fads, building a loyal and startlingly diverse audience on the way who know that bands like Feeder don’t come along every day. As inspired and musically fearless as ever, their new album, ‘Renegades’ proves they remain at their creative peak after all this time. With a return in part to the heavier guitars that characterised early Feeder records, it still bristles with devastatingly potent melodies and lyrics that tell of a very personal reaction to the world around us. Unusually, it is an album that was made to be listened to in its entirety and sounds all the more powerful for it. It is an album that shows unequivocally that Feeder are more relevant than ever. ENDS
