Welsh bands

I kind of liked Feeder before the whole Buck Rogers / Comfort in Sound era thing. They had a video with puppets and stuff which I almost latched onto as a teenager. 'Forgot' they were 'welsh' too.


e:- Actually I think the video was 'Yesterday went too soon'. And now it's bloody awful, beyond dated.

I don't ever remember Feeder being particularly big :confused:

Big for Wales, anyway.

They're the band that should have been massive, but somehow just didn't ever make it (or hang on to it).

Didn't realise Feeder were welsh, and I'm welsh.

They had success with the album the cd player song was on (echo park) but thats the only album they had any major success with I think.

The album after Echo Park did good, but their most successful was Pushing the Senses. Or The Singles, if that counts.

Yeah I'd love to see another album similar to YWTS or Polythene. Do love the rest of their stuff though.

Remember Two Colours?

The Automatic had an insanely good run when they started out. I watched them a ton of times in the local venues before during the time they were up and coming. They exploded to the top of the charts!

Then 'something' happened, their second album was crap and they fizzled out :/

My friend lives with one of the Automatics he said the band is split and mostly work with other bands now

Really?

Bigger than every other Welsh band that I can think of? In fact every other Welsh band I can think of were bigger than Feeder.

I really do think they only kept going because you bought everything they ever released, CD's that they walked past you were buying at one time.

They were still big and up there though.

If they scrapped their own label, signed to something bigger that would make them available in the US again and released an album similar to Polythene/Echo Park (and actually bother to promote it), I reckon they'd enjoy massive popularity. I don't think they care about anything anymore though other than keeping their original loyal fans happy, which is great, but I do wish they were more well known like they used to be. You may think they weren't to begin with, but they were.

Their old label is mostly to blame though...

-Also, don't forget Super Furry Animals.

You're right though, none of them seem to be doing anything..

I loved The Automatic - Shame how they turned out though :(

Not Accepted Anywhere is still good :)
