Do I have any readers who’re Snow Patrol fans? Snow Patrol is an awesome alternative rock band from Bangor, Northern Ireland. The group initially established way back in 1994 as an indie rock band at the University of Dundee and is now based in London. However, they didn’t seriously hit the international scene until 2006 with their album Eyes Open and its single “Chasing Cars” was featured on Grey’s Anatomy on may 15th 2006. The song forced its way onto the pop charts and was nominated for ‘Best Single’ in the 2006 Grammys. The album topped the charts in the UK and was deemed the best-selling British album of the year, selling more than 6 million copies worldwide. Here’s the video to jog your memory.

The Irish/Scottish five piece band, consisting of singer Gary Lightbody, guitarist Nathan Connolly, bassist Paul Wilson, drummer Jonny Quinn and keyboardist, Tom Simpson, recently released their sixth studio album, Fallen Empires. Recently I received an exclusive opportunity to check out the new album and think it is incredible! The music is somewhat unique from the previous stuff and incorporates some techno. Yet the band continues to have the same great feel and sound followers have loved in the past. The soulful song “New York” gives me chills and I’ve been blasting it throughout my house. As soon as you hear it you’ll understand what I’m talking about. It’s definitely the best song on the new album. The Fallen Empire 14 tracks include:
I’ll Never Let Go
Called Out In The Dark
The Weight Of Love
This Isn’t Everything You Are
The Garden Rules
Fallen Empires
Berlin
Lifening
New York
In The End
Those Distant Bells
The Symphony
The President
Broken Bottles Form A Star (Prelude)
