Feeder - Just A Day

Black / Red: The Double Album is OUT NOW!

"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."

Don't know why but as a 35 year old bloke, listening to this song brings floods of tears. Maybe it's just nostalgia. I had a good youth and I'm doing ok now but, this just brings back feelings I can't explain.

[Beelazebozo]

Still one of the best music videos ever made. And thank you to everyone that was in it. About time we had a anniversary "where are they now" video?

[NickChinchill]

I truly hope everyone featured in the video are living good lives now. What a perfect time capsule

[TodayFreedom]

To everyone in this video- thank you so much for one of the most wonderful memories of my life- this video still makes unbelievably happy after all these years. You absolute stars. 20 years ago this year !!! Less than 2m views?! What?! This song was huge. Happiest time of my life.

When I got my first PS2, Gran Turismo 3 came with it(also MGS 2), and I preselected the tracks which mostly consisted of Feeder, especially this song.
I remember vividly playing it in the corner of the room on a small tv with headphones whiles my brother slept(we shared a room)
.
This song honestly made me addicted to Gran Turismo and I'm forever thankful.

What a time to be alive.

[Olibuu]

My mom died of cancer last year in June 2021, this song takes me back to the old days when she was still around… appreciate what y’all have right now because one day it’ll be gone

[Britlurker]

It would be great to get the video remade with them all as they are now (2015).

[KitTheCreator]

I'm leaving this comment hare so that whenever someone likes it, I will come back and listen to this master piece again

[jonjoehulio]

What a band! This brings back serious vibes from late 90's-00's. Miss all the bands in that period. We have absolute dribble these days.

[darren]

What a great band. When I was the in the Army 99-05 I was into these guys big time, was always playing in our block. Great memories everytime I hear a Feeder song. Thanks for the brilliant songs that accompany my memories....

My guy is the little cutie on the drumsticks! 20yrs later and he's still a rockstar! XXX

[urwyltz]

Back then, when kids would listen to the coolest of music! Blessed to be born in the 80s.

[EVNZ]

Oh i miss the days of Gran turismo 3 with this song

[NEILHIGGINS]

This video should be re-shot with all us 30 something old fans rocking out in our Covid 19 lockdown, make it happen Feeder!

[RobertLocksley]

I'm 52 in three weeks, and I'm pogoing around the workshop floor with the boys and girls half my age at work who are crying with laughter and joy because they've never heard of Feeder, and love them as much as we did twenty years ago. LET'S GO

[mikewhyton]

This remains, for me, the greatest rock/pop video ever made, end of. Even now it has me in stitches 👍

[jameshapgood]

The nostalgia is enough to make me cry

[cardinalargie]

I remember when this was on Kerrang! constantly. Along with Tribute - Tenacious D
