Feeder are a Welsh rock band who formed in Newport, South Wales in 1992. With the lead single "Buck Rogers" from their 2001 album Echo Park, Feeder entered the mainstream during a time when manufactured pop was frequently populating the top 10. After their breakthrough year, their drummer Jon Lee committed suicide in his Miami home in January 2002. The band vowed to continue and would then in October 2002 release "Comfort in Sound", an album musically and lyrically focused around the band's emotions at the time which was well-received by critics. Former Skunk Anansie and Little Angels drummer Mark Richardson joined the band in August 2002. Alongside Jon, the band were originally comprised of Grant Nicholas (lead vocals, guitar, piano) and Taka Hirose (bass). The band has released five studio albums and two compilations, including the platinum-selling singles album. In total they have three platinum albums, two gold albums and one silver
