Wii-core act HORSE the Band has levelled a heavy accusation against popular Irish rock act Snow Patrol, claiming that the band plagiarized their video for "Birdo" in the concept for their new video for "Signal Fire" from the Spider-man 3 soundtrack.

 

It's probably best to let them explain:

 

OK so we were watching TV last night and this Snow Patrol video for Spiderman 3 comes up, and we're watching it, and all of a sudden things start to seem very similar to our video for Birdo, which we shot in like 2005. Everything from the opening shot to the Asian audience members to the faces the band makes to the action scenes between the kids. And way more. It's like some dude saw the video and made a a $500,000 version of it.

 

So Snow Patrol is now at the top of the hit list, in front of even Chiodos. Cause Chiodos can think of their own ideas, but they are just bad ones. But Snow Patrol COPIED a really bad idea

 

Here is their myspace. What they didnt know when they copied us is that we have the largest legion of insane r*t**** (and I mean that in the most endearing way possible) at our disposal in the world. That is you guys. Make me proud! f*** them up like it's Chiodos with two singers.

Snow Patrol - Signal Fire

 

TAKEN from the soundtrack of one of this year's biggest blockbuster films, Snow

 

Patrol return with another ballad used in Spiderman 3. Fans will note that despite this single being part of the Spiderman franchise, Snow Patrol stamp their identity all over it and on first listening to it you will be surprised that it was produced for such commercial purposes. It follows the standard structure the band has learned works so well for their ballads with a mix of fast sections and slow section to build emotion.

 

Signal Fire is available from shops on Monday May 28.

At last a cut to the chase

"NOBODY does it this way if they can help it – nobody says, 'Hmm, let's wait 10 years before we make it'."

 

So says Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody, contemplating the global stardom of the Scottish band after a decade of relative obscurity.

But speaking ahead of the band's first arena tour of Australia in September, Lightbody isn't sure the band would still be together had it hit the present dizzying heights early in its career.

 

"Looking back, if we had had success with our first record I can't imagine another successful record following on from that," he says. "I imagine that with a lot less experience and maturity it would have probably all gone to my head. So I'm kind of thankful for it taking so long."

 

After forming at Scotland's Dundee University in 1994, the rock quintet recorded two well-received but poorly selling albums before being dumped by the independent label Jeepster.

 

A rare second chance on a major label arrived when the song Run, from the 2003 album Final Straw, broke through to the mainstream and reached No.5 in Britain. They toured tirelessly, playing ever bigger venues and recorded another album, last year's Eyes Open. Then came the big breakthrough.

 

When medical drama Grey's Anatomy chose the love ballad Chasing Cars to play over its heart-wrenching season finale, the surrounding frenzy pushed the song to the top of the charts throughout the world.

 

Despite Chasing Cars being nominated for a Grammy award this year, Lightbody expresses a distaste for awards shows and the trappings of the high life.

 

"The world of celebrities and the worlds of grubby musicians are very different. Musicians shouldn't be thrown into that world, we are not prepared. Actors are trained. Us lot are just hopeless."

 

Snow Patrol play Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, September 19. Tickets on sale June 15. To join the pre-sale, sign up at www.frontier touring.com.au before Friday.

Snow Patrol's "Eyes Open" Goes Platinum In The U.S.

 

June 22, 2007 11:26 a.m. EST

 

 

Mary K. Brunskill - AHN News Writer

New York, NY (AHN) - Snow Patrol's fourth album, "Eyes Open," has gone platinum in the United States. The Grammy Award-nominated rock band have sold more than a million copies of "Eyes Open" in the U.S. and 4 million copies worldwide.

 

The singles "Chasing Cars" and "Signal Fire," which was featured in the movie "Spider-Man 3," helped propel the record to hit status.

 

Although the record has been successful in the United States, reaching number 27 on the charts, its popularity has been massive in the England, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, taking the top spot on the charts in each country.

 

It became the best-selling album in the U.K. in November of 2006, kicking the Arctic Monkeys' "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" out of the slot.

 

Snow Patrol are currently based in Glasgow, Scotland, and on the label Polydor Records. They will be touring with Hot Hot Heat this summer, with dates planned for the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, among others.

America greets Snow Patrol with open arms

Ulster band look forward to music festival in Chicago

Thursday, July 26, 2007

Northern Irish indie band Snow Patrol join the likes of Muse, Daft Punk, Interpol and Kings of Leon on the bill at the massive Lollapalooza festival in Chicago next weekend. Showbiz Correspondent Maureen Coleman looks at how the group succeeded in cracking the notoriously difficult American market

 

 

There's something about a big ballad that appeals to the American psyche.

 

Chris Martin's Coldplay blazed the trail with anthemic tunes and angst-ridden lyrics that helped bring the band huge success in the States.

 

But while others like Keane and Travis failed to ignite passions across the pond, Snow Patrol, who'd been gradually building up a loyal following in the US, suddenly found themselves the new kids on the block with the release of the single Run.

 

The ballad, which is also responsible for catapulting the band to fame in the UK, was the 22nd most played British song on American airwaves in 2004, having been played just under 28,000 times on US radio stations in that same year.

 

Snow Patrol realised that it was the perfect time to consolidate their position and stepped up their touring around the States.

 

Although the rest of the album, Final Straw, didn't get as much air play as Run, the band undertook a gruelling touring regime to drum up a larger fan base.

 

But it was the release in 2006 of Eyes Open that really made things happen for the boys - particularly a certain ballad called Chasing Cars.

 

The song was used to play out the season finale of medical drama Grey's Anatomy and all of a sudden everyone was talking about Snow Patrol.

 

Internet forums were flooded with inquiries about the identity of the band singing the track and within hours of it being featured on the show, the single shot to number one in the iTunes charts.

 

Even frontman Gary Lightbody acknowledges the role the medical drama played in the band's success.

 

"Having Chasing Cars played on Grey's Anatomy was great, obviously," he said.

 

"Television is much more unifying than radio.

 

"There are so many disparate radio stations in the US for rock, pop, student, adult, whatever, whereas one television show can reach 25m people."

 

Chasing Cars went on to become the first song from a British or Irish guitar act to reach the US Billboard top five since Duran Duran 13 years ago.

 

The track also featured on another television show, One Tree Hill, during its season finale, while another track, Open Your Eyes, was heard on the season finale of another medical show, ER.

 

Even a few touring hiccups that year - illness among the band members mainly - failed to bring Snow Patrol's snowballing success to a halt.

 

Indeed, further proof of their growing popularity in the States came when the band was nominated for a prestigious Grammy award.

 

Snow Patrol have thanked their American fans for their support with more dates planned across the States, including next Saturday night's appearance at Lollapalooza in Chicago.

 

The band say they are looking forward to playing Chicago - a city which they name-check in their track Hands Open.

 

Lightbody added: " Lollapalooza will be brilliant. It's great to be asked to play at such a famous festival."

 

 

they really have done great in america which is great as so many bands huge in the uk fail there

hi i have a quastion??? do anyone of you know when will SP have some concert nera Croatia??? Please tell me!!!!
