Brilliant band who were formed in Dundee, Scotland(at uni) and whose members live in Glasgow but are from (all of them not just Gary) N.Ireland. And yes they are better than Coldplay. And no they are not new. Final Straw is their third album.

v. 1. To call somebody by their deadname.

a BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT indie band, scottish apart from Gary Lightbody, front man, who is from Northern Ireland.

An extremely good band. Many songs often played in slow motion, this band is the freaking greatest ever.

A particularly inactive sexual partner. "If I lay here....If I just laaaaay here...."

Indie rock band from Glasgow with a Northern Irish frontman.Excellent songs, great talent, a real euphoric sound.

'Spitting Games' and 'Run' are probably their best tracks.

A Scottish band who released two brilliant albums under Jeepster records in 1998 ("Songs For Polarbears") and 2001 ("When It's all Over We Still Have to Clear Up") but since then has gone downhill and changed their style to appeal to the mainstream. 2003's "Final Straw" was probably their last decent album. Best songs include "Starfighter Pilot", "Little Hide", "Sticky Teenage Twin", "Raze the City", "Making Enemies", "Last Ever Lone Gunman" and, of course, "An Olive Grove Facing the Sea".
