(Alternative Rock / Indie Rock) Snow patrol - Final straw - 2003, APE (image+.cue), lossless

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Snow Patrol are a Northern Irish alternative rock band which formed in Bangor, Northern Ireland. They are based in Belfast and are signed to Polydor Records. Originally formed as an indie rock band, Snow Patrol have sought a more alternative rock and powerpop sound in recent years on the heels of mainstream success with the songs "Run", "Chasing Cars" and "Signal Fire" from the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack.

The band's first three records, including their first EP—Starfighter Pilot, Songs for Polarbears and When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up—were commercially unsuccessful and were released by independent labels Electric Honey (for their first EP) and Jeepster (for their first two albums). When the band moved to a major record label Polydor Records they released their 2003 album Final Straw which crossed 4x platinum sales in the UK. The band achieved worldwide success due to 2006's Eyes Open, which sold 4.7 million copies worldwide. Snow Patrol have been nominated for three BRIT Awards and have won five Meteors. Worldwide, the band have sold over 7 million albums.

Final Straw is the highly acclaimed third album by Snow Patrol, released in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland in 2003 and in the United States in 2004. The album is notable for bringing the band their first mainstream success outside of their native countries of Ireland and Scotland.

The album was re-released in the UK in 2004 with two extra tracks, before being exported to the U.S. (without the bonus tracks). The album was also released on SACD and Dualdisc with 5.1 Surround mixes.

In the movie Accepted, the cover of the album is blown up in poster form and can be seen in the background of the main character's bedroom. The song "Wow" is featured the PlayStation 2 game Gran Turismo 4. The song "Somewhere a Clock is Ticking" is featured in "17 Seconds", an episode from season 2 of Grey's Anatomy.
