Feeder Announce New Record

Feeder are today announcing new album Torpedo, along with its title track. Torpedo is due for release on March 18th via Big Teeth Music. Listen to “Torpedo” here.

The celebrated, multi-platinum-selling, rock band Feeder have hit a resurgent run of three consecutive UK Top 10 albums with 2016’s All Bright Electric, the 2017 Best Of, and 2019’s Tallulah. Looking ahead to 2022, it is with some momentum that the band will release new album Torpedo into the world.

Momentum has been something in short supply for many artists over the last 18 months. For Feeder, the ensuing numbness of early-stage lockdowns inevitably led to an uncharacteristically uninspired period for the band and songwriter Grant Nicholas. Feeder, however, have always been masters of marrying the light and the dark – illuminating the shadowy corners of their world to uncover something poignant and uplifting – meaning it was not long before conditions became a perfect storm for inspiration’s lightning to strike, and two albums’ worth of music materialised.

New track “Torpedo” arrives in a flurry of heavy and direct guitars, which are soon joined by an out-of-nowhere chorus delivered in glorious technicolour. It takes its power from hope and optimism, Nicholas’ vocals breaking through the heaviness like a streak of sunlight cracking through a leaden sky. It is a song about bringing your world back into focus again, as he elaborates below.

“After the frustration of not being able to perform live I really wanted to come back with a bang and a classic heavier but melodic Feeder song. All the emotion and frustration just caused a creative wave. Dynamically and musically Torpedo felt like the obvious choice for us to drop first. The chorus has a thread of positivity that brings light to the darker verses.

We are really looking forward to going out on the road again and playing the new album material. This will be the heaviest Feeder set we’ve played in a while so can’t wait. We may revisit some heavier old school Feeder classics also and touch on some Renegades and All Bright electric stuff.”

Music Video’s 30/12/17

Okay, it’s time for the final Music Video countdown of the year! In two days 2017 will be no more and I wish my readers of Almost Anything Music a Happy New Year!

Now let’s get to the videos.

The first band on the agenda is the Sweedish act; Tribulation. ‘Lady Death’ is the second single off their new record ‘Down Below’, which will drop on the 26th January via Century Media. Here is the video.

 

Next is the latest single from Heavy hitters Five Finger Death Punch. It’s called ‘Gone Away’ which is off A Decade Of Destruction, a compilation record of their great hits.

 

Continuing the music is Dashboard Confessional, whose new record ‘Crooked Shadows’ is set for a release February 9th via Fueled By Ramen. This is their beautiful track, ‘We Fight’.

 

 

Let’s go to Watford for this next band. Punk. hooks. Big Hooks. If you’re into all of the above, then you need to check out Funeral Shakes new video; Lightning.

 

Feed The Rhino are keeping the audiences primed for their new release titled ‘The Silence’ which is still a few months away. If you want more of this band, then you need to watch Timewave Zero.

 

Now I know Christmas has just passed but Foo Fighters did a huge celebration live at SNL! They played Everlong and a few festive tracks. You have to see it to believe it.

 

Now Machine Gun Kelly is on a roll at the moment. He’s had a track with Bebe Rexha and X-Ambassadors which was on the Bright film, recently released on Netflix and he’s just dropped a fantastic video for his own track; Habits.

 

Next, we go to a group who’s been on the scene for a number of years now Feeder. They’ve been a little quiet recently but they have a best of compilation record out which is their best of. Here’s their video, Figure You Out.

 

Papa Roach has had their latest record ‘Crooked Teeth for over half a year now and they’re still going strong, especially with this new video for ‘Traumatic’.

 

Now for the final video of 2017, this has been out for a little while now but I think it needs to be shown because of the theatrical nature of the music video but it’s a fantastic video to end 2017 on. Here’s A Statue Of The King from Avatar.
