Polythene

Feeder scored a hit single in the mother country with the acoustic flavoured "High" and are looking to carry that success over into the colonies with their debut album POLYTHENE.

Singer/guitarist Grant Nicholas' speciality is the big chorus. Taking the cue from Cheap Trick, "Polythene Girl" and "Cement" have hooks big enough to catch Moby Dick, all surrounded by enough crunchy guitars to make Jimmy Page proud. And they aren't afraid to put the pedal to the metal on "Stereo World" and "Tangerine", which contain some of the heavier riffs of the '90s. Finally, a band that can fulfil the promise of the second British Invasion.
