Hank Kingsley Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 A ways back I told myself I'd hate the band (thinking they'd be like Fall Out Boy?), but after borrowing Final Straw from a friend and listening to it a few times in the car, I really grew to like them. Anyway, their new cd Eyes Open is also quite good. Check out "Hands Open," "Chasing Cars," and "It's Beginning to Get to Me" for starters. And from Final Straw, "Chocolate," "Run," and "Spitting Games." I'm not sure what it is that sets them apart from other bands like Keane or The Fray, but I dig Snow Patrol a lot, especially considering I'm not a big fan of the genre. Maybe because they're not quite as melodramatic? Anyone else a fan?
PLAGIARISM! Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Correct. I mean on the scale of terrible bands.
snuffbox Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 I like Final Straw...but I cant really defend them or anything, it is pretty simplistic Coldplay-esque 'rock'.
Hank Kingsley Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Posted May 31, 2006 Oh, come on. They're not even close to the awfulness of Jet.
DCMaximo Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 THey had a decent song a few years back called "100 You Should Have Done In Bed", which was quite fun, but they seemed to lose their bollocks and become a dire indie-snooze fest. I caught them supporting Ash a few years back and was very disappointed
