Snow Patrol is a Northern Irish/Scottish alternative rock band formed in 1994. The group consists of Gary Lightbody (vocals, guitar), Jonny Quinn (drums), Nathan Connolly (guitar, backing vocals), Paul Wilson (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Johnny McDaid (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals). Initially an indie rock band, their early releases were commercially unsuccessful. However, they rose to fame with their major label debut album "Final Straw" in 2003. Since then, Snow Patrol has sold over ten million albums worldwide and achieved international success.

Their breakthrough album "Final Straw" was certified 5× platinum in the UK and sold over 3 million copies globally. The follow-up album "Eyes Open" (2006) featured the hit single "Chasing Cars," which propelled them to even greater fame. It topped the UK Album Charts and became the best-selling British album of that year with over 6 million copies sold worldwide.

Throughout their career, Snow Patrol has won five Meteor Ireland Music Awards and received three BRIT Awards nominations. Their discography includes six studio albums as well as compilation albums. With their distinctive sound and memorable hits, Snow Patrol continues to captivate audiences around the world.

Back In Stock

Snow Patrol return with Wildness, their first album in seven years, which finds the band searching for clarity, connection, and meaning, while staying true to the melodic songwriting prowess that brought them to prominence. The songs are surefooted, displaying a newfound sense of self and purpose, and the rest of the band members rose magnificently to the occasion. The album is produced once more by the great Jacknife Lee, Snow Patrol’s longtime producer and collaborator. Life on Earth opens the album with its mission statement, “this is something else, this is something else.” Heal Me feels like an ancient hymn: “Finally, after way too many years of smashing my body to bits with booze, I met someone who helped me find my way back to health and clarity," says Lightbody. “This song is about her, that journey and is dedicated to her.” Empress, written for Lightbody’s goddaughters, is fierce and heartfelt, with runaway drums and keen words of wisdom. What If This Is All The Love You Ever Get? is a heartstring-puller, posing the question nobody wants to ask. The last track, Life and Death, is a rumination, and a human story of love and forgiveness— mostly self-forgiveness for Lightbody, demonstrating that perhaps everyone ought to take this long between albums to reflect long and hard before they write.
