Feeder Chat To ilikemusic
Sixteen years after they first formed Feeder are celebrating the release of their sixth studio album Silent Cry. It was their third album Echo Park, released in 2001, that propelled them into the mainstream, with such hits as Buck Rogers and Seven Days In The Sun. Feeder have toured extensively and 2008 is no exception with summer festival slots lined up at the Isle of Wight Festival, T in The Park, Reading and Leeds. We caught up with lead singer and guitarist Grant Nicholas to chat about their new album, it's single We Are The People, Feeder's process of making music, pets and his ultimate playlist choices.
"I Like Music because… it's very good for the soul." GRANT NICHOLAS, FEEDER
ILM: Your brand new single, We Are The People, is out now. It's fabulous and about change and uniting. If you had special powers and could change one thing about the world today, what would you change?
Grant: Oh God....What would I change? Um...that's a really difficult one. It is hard to pick one thing. Religion in some ways. I think religion has caused a lot of wars. I think there is a lot of confusion in the way that we deal with religion. Although, I'm not sure where we would start. I'm not saying that I'm an atheist, it is just the fact remains that a lot of people get certain beliefs confused. I think that would be something people could change. I don't know really, it is a hard question. People should think more about it. It doesn't matter what God or whatever you believe in, if you believe in something then you should accept other people's ability to believe too and the fact that it may differ to your own opinions.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Cesar Sangwa: ilikemusic because... it's there for me through thick and thin, highs and lows. I think about it when I wake up, and when I close my eyes to sleep. I like music because I'm in love with it!
