Feeder Release We Are The People Single and Silent Cry Album

Not many bands get to their sixth studio album release these days, even fewer whilst still at the top of their game. Feeder however are not your usual band, and sixteen years after they started the group are at their peak and as excited about new release 'Silent Cry' as they were back in 1997 when debut 'Polythene' hit the shops. Feeder are as invigorated and as passionate as ever.

The new album is preceded by the single We Are The People. This is the first studio album since 'Pushing The Senses, and follows 2006's The Singles a self explanatory compilation which sold over half a million copies. It spanned the band's career to date and two new tracks (Lost & Found and Save Us) released as singles from it charted high and hinted at the powerful direction the band were moving in.

Frontman Grant Nicholas, joined by Taka Hirose and drummer Mark Richardson to complete Feeder, started writing the new record immediately after touring The Singles album (breaking only to play some very special London dates in November 06 for the charity War Child which whom the band have a longstanding relationship). After a relentless cycle of touring and recording, and buoyed by the success of The Singles, the band decided to take their time with this album. Silent Cry emerged after over a year, the most relaxed (and longest) recording session the band had enjoyed. Self produced, it bears all the hallmarks of a classic Feeder album with soaring anthemic tracks and intricate melodies but as ever, rooted by classic rock and pop hooks.
