Snow Patrol: Witchwood, Ashton-Under-Lyne
Dave Simpson, The Guardian, 29 August 2003
SNOW PATROL have had a curious journey. They began as Belfast popsters the Polar Bears. Then they moved to Glasgow and became fey, jangly contemporaries of Belle & Sebastian. After two independent albums they now find themselves snapped up by major label Polydor for their mostly excellent Final Straw album, and developing a much tougher, more electric sound underpinned by subtle, spiky danceable grooves.
