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.

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

An extremely good band. Many songs often played in slow motion, this band is the freaking greatest ever.
I went to a Snow Patrol concert and when i was pushed during the mosh it took me 20 min to hit the ground.

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.
Final Straw is a real good album.

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".
Person A: Hey, what's your favourite Snow Patrol song?
Person B: An Olive Grove Facing the Sea.
Person A: Huh?! I've never heard of that!
Person B: Look it up!
