15 April 2010 Feeder - new single ‘Call Out’
Feeder return with a brand new single on 14th June 2010, their first release in almost two years. ‘CALL OUT’ is a return to the band’s rock roots, an exhilarating three minutes of classic catchy melodies coupled with thrashing guitars to create the ultimate in jump-around, sing-along pop rock. Feeder at thei loud and proud best!
Fifteen years since the band’s first release (which they sold at their own gigs) they are once again releasing music for themselves, after their record label of twelve years dissolved in 2008. Where some would find this a blow, Feeder took this as a new beginning. With 25 chart hit singles under their belt, 4.5 million record sales world-wide, 6 full length-studio albums - as well as the platinum Singles Collection from 2006 – founder members vocalist Grant Nicholas, bassist Taka Hirose decided to go back to their roots.
With new drummer Karl Brazil onboard, the band made a low-key start to 2010 by touring the UK under the name of Renegades. They only announced the shows to fans on their website, and explained it would not be a ‘Feeder’ show, but would be showcasing new material which Nicholas had written throughout 2009. The tickets sold out in minutes and the band took to tiny venues the size of which they hadn’t played in years – and the response was amazing. The new tracks were much heavier than the bands last few albums, far more guitars were involved! A free EP given away at the shows teased as to the harder direction the band were taking, whilst still displaying their ability to write classic songs.
Now they return as Feeder, with several festival appearances confirmed (see below) and a new album coming soon. ‘Call Out’ is released on Big Teeth Music.
1 August - Big Weekend, Cardiff (headline appearance)
6 August - Beladrum, by Beauly, Inverness-shire (headline appearance)
21 August - V Festival, Chelmsford (V Stage)
22 August - V Festival, Staffordshire (V Stage)
