Description
There is something inherently sad about Snow Patrol, not in that over the top, melodramatic, slash your wrists kind of way. It is more of a quiet, contemplative kind of sadness. Originally formed in Scotland in 1994, the band first got noticed in the United States in 2003, when its song "Run" became a modest hit thanks to the somber piano part, along with Gary Lightbodys breathy vocals. But it was not until 2006, when Snow Patrol released "Chasing Cars" that this very same formula would result in mainstream notoriety. Even though some of Snow Patrols songs have a harder rock edge, the group has always remained a textured amphitheater band and not a ballsy club band.
