The band's first release was a 6-track EP, Swim, originally released in June 1996 and later re-released with bonus tracks in 2001. This was followed by their first full-length effort, Polythene. The band's second release, Yesterday Went Too Soon, met with little more mainstream success than their first. However, in 2001, their third full-length album Echo Park hit the big-time. Singles from the album soared into the charts, with songs such as Buck Rogers and Seven Days in the Sun receiving extensive radio play. Buck Rogers also appeared on the soundtrack to the film Behind Enemy Lines. Feeder's latest record, Comfort in Sound was written by singer Grant Nicholas in response to the tragic suicide of the band's original drummer Jon Lee. Nicholas is reported to have found, quite literally, 'comfort in sound' following his death, and wrote many of the songs on the album in an attempt to come to terms with Lee's death.
