Coming together in around 1994 in Scotland, where frontman Gary Lightbody and two former members went to college, the band was originally known as Polarbear. Since its founding, the band has undergone many changes, including a name swap and a lineup change. Currently, Snow Patrol works out of Northern Ireland and is made up of the following members: Paul Wilson, Gary Lightbody, Jonny Quinn, Nathan Connolly and Tom Simpson. The band loves to entertain its fans during its live shows as Lightbody is known for engaging in friendly banter and engagement with the audience throughout Snow Patrol shows.'

Snow Patrol came from humble beginnings. The band performed gigs at local pubs but wasn't well-received by listeners in spite of the critics' praise for the artistry of Snow Patrol. After bouncing from label to label looking for commercial success, the Northern Irish boys finally started to gain recognition with the album

Eyes Open

, which was released just over 10 years after the band formed. The album also contains the groundbreaking single Chasing Cars, which is the most widely played song of the 21st century on UK radio. Before long, Snow Patrol began touring internationally and making a name for itself as a band that pleased the ears and tugged on the heartstrings of fans. It is now one of the most well-known and well-loved bands to come out of Northern Ireland.
