Interview: Snow Patrol battle to smash image ..Snow Patrol is still best known in the U.S. for “Chasing Cars,” which played over a tearjerker moment on “Grey’s Anatomy” a half-decade ago. That’s why the Irish-Scottish band made a purposeful attempt to prove Gary Lightbody and Co. can create more than the masterful ballad on their newest release, Fallen Empires. And that’s partly [...]the bay bridged - San Francisco Bay Area Indie Music3 May 2012

My first assignment was to cover the CMJ Music Marathon and interview a bunch of artists, some of those you may have heard of before - Boxcar Racer, the Used, Gary Lightbody (whom you may know from his band Snow Patrol), and Jonah Matranga.

A Letter From... Northern Ireland #7This has been yet another exciting month in Northern Ireland... let’s kick things off with some brand spanking new emerging talent. First off the bat is the offering from former Front Woman of No Mean City, Jilly St John. Jilly returns to her rawking roots with her new venture the aptly named Wyldling . Hot off the press Wyldling is much in its early stages but St John and "Friends" which the act consist of have already offered the online world a taste of some pretty promising tunes. The initial stand out track for me is 'Waiting on Water' which ...Clash Music1 March 2012

In The EndWhether you like their music or not it’s hard to deny that Snow Patrol are one creative band when it comes to music videos. Adopting a MGM musical style theme, the video sees lead singer Gary Lightbody pop on a tux and use a whole pot of gel to slick ... Originally posted at In The End - Vid81Vid8116 January 2012

Snow Patrol: Fallen EmpiresSnow Patrol seems to have their hearts in the right place. They’ve covered Low and Bright Eyes, name-checked Sufjan Stevens and spent formative time on Belle & Sebastian’s old label. In interviews promoting their sixth album Fallen Empires, frontman Gary Lightbody said all the right things about experimenting and growing their sound. Which is great and all, but Empires sounds as much like a product of artists cautiously trying to nudge their songwriting forward a bit as it does the result of our nation’s television music supervisors collectively willing another Snow Patrol album in to existence, as someone ...Paste Magazine11 January 2012

Snow Patrol Talk Writer's BlockSnow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody has revealed that he struggled with writer's block during the making of their new album. It the curse of every creative person. Sure, there may be times when projects are completed easily and ideas come tumbling forth like wine from a bottle... but there are also darker moments when the mind goes completely blank. Snow Patrol retreated to begin work on their sixth studio album last year, with millions of fans snapping at their heels. Flown out to Los Angeles, songwriter Gary Lightbody suddenly found that his creative energies had been sapped. Speaking to ...Clash Music16 November 2011
