"Gamblers at a roulette table looking to double their money traditionally face the choice of putting it all on black or red. And on Black / Red, their landmark 12th album, Feeder also go for a high-stakes double: 18 tracks, two “discs” and one raised middle finger to today’s supposedly TikTok-ravaged short attention spans.
Luckily, if there’s any band that could be described as a sure thing, it’s probably Feeder. There’s barely been a misstep across those dozen records and while this trilogy-concluding follow-up to 2022’s excellent Torpedo is certainly ambitious, Grant Nicholas and Taka Hirose emerge with their high-rolling reputations enhanced.
The ’Black’ disc continues Torpedo’s hard-rocking renaissance, the tightly wound classic rock riffing of Playing With Fire and the expansive, cinematic landscape of ELF striking a charming juxtaposition with the irresistible pop rush of Hey You. ‘Red’ isn’t quite as heavy, but it’s just as intense, stuffed with Feeder’s ’00s trademark: melody-drenched, emotive alternative-rock anthems such as Sleeping Dogs Lie, Unconditional and Here Comes The Hurricane.
Feeder are still more than capable of springing a surprise - lord alone knows what odds you’d have got on the poignant Soldiers Of Love sporting a bagpipes intro, 30 years after they first blasted out of South Wales. But as that song rails against a world 'When you feel nothing is real', you’ll realise that - whether you have time to hear these songs all together or listen to them in splendid isolation - Black / Red is an authentic representation of a great band in full, long-distance flight.
And, if you’re looking for a band to keep it real in a world of fakes, you could do a lot worse than to put it all on Feeder."

We will be waiting, Patiently waiting ...

[@TheMythicalHawfinch]

I had other plans but this takes priority 🤘🏻 good to see 8.18 back

[@killTHEIRidols]

Watching this again at almost 35 years old is a whole other level of nostalgia. I hope they're all still happy. Neil Harrison (the dark-haired bloke with glasses alone in his room) was a music teacher at my high school.

God I love you boys. Got me through the bad and the good times. Thank you Grant, Taka, and Jon (rip).

[@steveprice9972]

Strangely satisfying not knowing what song is up next... makes you appreciate the each track even more! ✌👊

[@ScotlandsGold]

We need a Feeder radio. Remember Some Feeder is not enough Feeder

[@iainnuttall4860]

Station full of deep cuts. Love it!

[@Makeshiftam]

Great tunes, loved reading memories and comments…a nice half hour holiday from real life 🖤

[@justputitdown]

Stumbling across this tonight is the best thing that could have happened. Perfect way to round off a day.

Так и не удалось понять, почему такого шикарного исполнителя обделили вниманием. Подсел на Fedder - а ещё с момента, когда начал играть в saints row, после прослушивания ещё нескольких его треков, он стал моим любимым исполнителем, а теперь, найдя его канал на Ютубе, я загорелся по новой, и взахлёб стал переслушивать его старые песни. Спасибо, что сопровождал меня в лучшие и не очень годы

[@williamsaunders5056]

Amazing little distraction from an otherwise hectic Thursday. Thanks for the nice surprise Feeder!
