I-Snow Patrol ingelinye lamaqembu athuthukayo kakhulu eBrithani. Iqembu lidala ngokukhethekile ngaphakathi kohlaka lwe-rock ehlukile ne-indie. Ama-albhamu ambalwa okuqala abe "ukwehluleka" kwangempela kubaculi.
Kuze kube manje, iqembu Snow Patrol kakade inenani elikhulu "abalandeli". Abaculi bathola ukuqashelwa abantu abadumile bokudala baseBrithani.
Umlando wokudalwa nokwakhiwa kweqembu le-Snow Patrol
Ngokokuqala ngqa abalandeli bomculo onzima bajwayelana neqembu elithi Snow Patrol ngo-1994. Amalungu okuqala eqembu kwaba:
- uGary Lightbody;
- umshayi wezigubhu uMichael Morrison;
- isigingci uMark McClelland.
Lapho kufika isikhathi sokukhetha igama lengqondo yabo, laba abathathu bazinza egameni lokuqamba lokudala elithi Shrug. Abaculi baqala ukucula emicimbini. Ngokushesha abafana bakhipha i-albhamu ethi The Yogurt vs. Ingxoxo Yeyogathi. Iqoqo elincane alizange liphumelele kwezohwebo, kodwa lisize abaculi bathole abalandeli babo bokuqala.
Ngo-1996, abacula ngabodwana bashintsha igama labo laba yi-Polar Bear ukuze bagweme izinkinga ze-copyright. Izinguquko azizange zithinte igama kuphela, kodwa futhi nokwakheka. Iqembu lishiye uMichael Morrison. Esikhundleni sakhe kwathathwa uJohnny Quinn. Kulesi sihloko, i-discography yeqembu yagcwaliswa ngenye i-albhamu, ebizwa ngokuthi i-Starfighter Pilot.
Iqembu Polar Bear waqala ukudlala ngenkuthalo amakilabhu endawo. Kodwa abafana baphinde baba nezinkinga. Iqiniso wukuthi emculweni kade kuneqembu elinegama elifanayo. Ngakho, abantu abasha baphinde baqala ukucabanga nge-pseudonym entsha yokudala. Ngakho, eqinisweni, kwavela igama elisha - Snow Patrol.
Indlela yokudala nomculo weqembu le-Snow Patrol
Kusukela ngo-1997, abaculi baqala ukusebenzisana nelebula elizimele elithi Jeepster. Ngokushesha iqembu lathuthela endaweni yaseGlasgow futhi laqala ukusebenza ngerekhodi lokuqala lochwepheshe.
Ngo-1998, i-discography yebhendi entsha yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu ethi Songs for Polar Bears. Ngeke kushiwo ukuthi leli qoqo lanothisa izikhwama zabaculi. Kodwa into eyodwa ingashiwo ngokuqinisekile - abafana baqaphele. Ngemva kokukhululwa kweqoqo, abaculi basayine inkontileka noPhilips.
Kodwa i-albhamu yesibili ye-studio "yadutshulwa" futhi yabizwa ngokuthi Uma Konke Sekuphelile Kusafanele Sisule. Yanconywa kakhulu abagxeki bomculo, nakuba yayithengisa kabi.
Ngaleso sikhathi sokwenza izinto, umculo weqembu wawunokhahlo futhi unolaka. Ibhendi ye-Snow Patrol yalinga umsindo. Abaculi bahlanganise izitayela ezingahambelani. Le ndlela yavumela ngisho nangokwengeziwe ukuthi baye komunye umhlaba.
I-Snow Patrol ibilokhu ihambela izindawo eziningi kusukela ekuqaleni kwawo-2000. Kodwa, naphezu kwalokhu, izifundo zomculo azizange zinikeze inzuzo eyanele. Bekungesinye sezikhathi ezinzima kakhulu kuwo wonke amalungu eqembu.
Ngokushesha leli qembu lalahlekelwa yinkontileka yalo ezuzisayo ye-Jeepster, futhi uGary Lightbody kwadingeka athengise iqoqo lakhe lerekhodi ukuze athole imali yokusekela iqembu lakhe. Izikhathi ezinzima azizange zenze umcabango: "Kodwa ingabe iqembu kufanele lihlakazwe?". Ngaphezu kwalokho, iqembu elisha lijoyine iqembu - uNathan Connolly.
Ngenxa yabajwayele enyuvesi, ithimba likwazile ukuqala ukubambisana nelebula leFiction. Ngokushesha i-discography yebhendi yaphinde yagcwaliswa ngeqoqo elisha le-Final Straw. Ingoma eyashisa izikhotha kwaba yingoma ethi Run. Ingoma ingene kwabangu-10 abahamba phambili bamashadi ase-UK. Lokhu kwakusho into eyodwa - abaculi bagcine bevukwe izilomo.
Isibuyekezo sohlelo lweqembu
Ngo-2005, abaculi abasha bajoyina ibhendi - i-keyboardist uTom Simpson nomdlali we-bassist uPaul Wilson. Owokugcina weza esikhundleni sikaMark McClelland. Kulesi sakhiwo, iqembu lethule iqoqo elisha, elalibizwa ngokuthi Eyes Open.
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ingoma ye-Chasing Cars yasetshenziswa njengengoma yochungechunge lwe-TV iGrey's Anatomy futhi yaqokelwa Indondo Ye-Grammy. Ngokusho kwabagxeki bomculo, lena ingenye yama-albhamu afaneleka kakhulu ka-Snow Patrol.
Kodwa impumelelo yagubuzelwa ezinye izenzakalo. Iqiniso liwukuthi umculi oholayo uGary Lightbody wagula. Abaculi baphoqeleke ukuthi bahlehlise ukuvakasha kanye namakhonsathi azayo. Nokho izinkulumo azigcinanga lapho. Imisebenzi futhi kudingeke ukuthi ikhanselwe. Konke bekuyiphutha lokuhlasela kwamaphekula e-UK kanye nokulimala kabi komdlali webhesi.
Ngemuva kwale micimbi abaculi baphoqeleke ukuthi bahlabe ikhefu ukuze balungiselele ukukhipha icwecwe elisha. I-albhamu ehlanganisiwe ethi A Hundred Million Sun yakhululwa ngo-2008. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, leli qembu "lashisa" ngamaqembu afana ne-Oasis ne-Coldplay. Ngo-2008, kwakhululwa isiqeshana sevidiyo yengoma ethi Take Back the City.
Ukubungaza iminyaka engu-15 kwasungulwa iqembu, amalungu e-Snow Patrol anqume ukushintsha umsindo wamathrekhi. Abacula ngabodwana bamema ilungu elisha eqenjini, kwakunguJohnny McDaid. Eqenjini, wathatha indawo yomculi omusha nombhali wamathrekhi, wabe eseqala umsebenzi ku-albhamu elandelayo. Ngo-2011, i-discography yeqembu yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu entsha, i-Fallen Empires.
Ngemuva kuka-2011, abaculi bamemezele ukuthi bathatha ikhefu isikhathi esingaziwa. Ngalesi sikhathi, bakhiphe iqoqo elilodwa kuphela. Ibhendi yavalelisa kuTom Simpson. Abaculi baqala ukusebenzisana nelebula lePolydor Records.
Ngo-2018, ibhendi yethula i-albhamu ethi Wildness. Iqoqo elisha le-Snow Patrol linconywa ukuthi lingalaleli kuphela abalandeli bebhendi abangenangqondo ngeminyaka yawo-2000. Ngokumelene nesizinda somkhuba womhlaba wonke obheke ekucindezelekeni, i-albhamu ethi Wildness enesiqubulo esingashiwongo esithi “Sikwazile ukuqopha i-albhamu - futhi ungakwazi” ingase ibe i-manifesto yawo wonke umuntu obhekene nesikhathi esingesihle kakhulu sempilo yakhe.
Iqembu le-Snow Patrol manje
Ngo-2019, ibhendi yethula iqoqo elincane le-Reworked, elihlanganisa izinhlobo ezintsha zezingoma zomculo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngo-2019 abaculi bavela ku-Legend Award, eyethulwa ngoNovemba eBelfast. Iqembu liqale ngo-2020 ngamakhonsathi.
