Description
Feeder: Grant Nicholas (vocals, guitar); Taka Hirose (bass); Jon Lee (drums). Producers: Feeder, Chris Sheldon, Grant Nicholas, Brian Sperber. Engineers: Chris Sheldon, Brian Sperber, Matt Sime. Feeder scored a hit single in the mother country with the acoustic flavored "High" and are looking to carry that success over into the colonies with their debut album POLYTHENE. Their modus operandi is mixing classic power pop melodies with Smashing Pumpkins bombast (and a bit of Billy Corgan crooning). Singer/guitarist Grant Nicholas' specialty 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 fulfill the promise of the second British Invasion.

Press Reviews
...POLYTHENE, expertly pairs an unerring melodicism worthy of a less-British London Suede with a hard-rock gusto that would raise eyebrows on banging heads... Magnet (3-4/98, p.65)
