Early career of Snow Patrol Team


Initially, the band was formed by Gary Lightbody, Michael Morrison, and Mark McClelland as the shrug at the University of Dundee.Afterward, drummer  Michael Morrison left the band after suffering a breakdown and returned to Northern Ireland. "The Yogurt vs. the debate" was their first EP title.
The band changed its name to Polarbear in 1996 to avoid issues with another American band also known as the shrug. Again within a year, it was renamed as Snow patrol this time, the same year Johny Quinn(the drummer) joined the band.

Snow Patrol's "Songs for Polarbears", was released in 1998 in Glasgow. The album was a success critically but could not make an impact commercially. The same year, the band got chance of getting featured in a worldwide advertisement for the Philips brand. In 1999, the band won the "Phil Lynott Award for Best New Band" by Irish music magazine Hot Press. In 2001, still living in Glasgow, the band followed up with an album "When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up". Like its antecedents, the album was praised by critics but did not sell. 

It was very difficult for the band to make up for the tour, they were struggling still to get the attention. In 2000 band wrote "Run", an acoustic guitar version which later became the major single breakthrough for them. The band caught the eye of many labels by then.

Finally, the record was an ultimate success in UK and Ireland.The album, along with "Run" (which debuted at No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart), gave the band their first taste of mainstream success. The record peaked at No. 3 in the UK Albums Chart.


The album sold more than 250,000 copies in the USA  and became the 26th most popular album in the UK of that year.


In 2006, the band released "Eyes open", it was a top hit and marginally earned the title of the UK's best-selling album of 2006, with 1.6 million sales.
