This is a discography of Feeder, a London-based alternative rock group formed in Newport, South Wales. The band have released five studio albums, twenty-four singles, two compilation albums, two EP's and five Japanese import albums. This list does not include material performed by members that was recorded with Darling Buds, Little Angels and Skunk Anansie.
Feeder were formed in 1992 by vocalist and guitarist Grant Nicholas and drummer Jon Lee, with the position of bassist being filled by Taka Hirose. The band released its debut album, Polythene, in 1997 on independent label Echo. In 1999, the band released its second studio album, Yesterday Went Too Soon, which entered the UK albums chart at #8 and became a critical sucsess, appearing at #6 on Metal Hammer magazine's albums of 1999 list, following up the #1 appearance of the debut on the same list two years earlier. The band's third album, Echo Park, was a commercial success spawning the top 5 single "Buck Rogers", and was Feeder's mainstream breakthrough. The album went gold in 2001 giving the band their first sales certification, and then went platinum in 2003, after the sucsess of Comfort in Sound. The following year in 2002, the bands drummer Jon Lee took his own life in his Miami home. Feeder decided to continue in tribute to him, and kept away from the public eye for the majority of the year. Grant wrote many songs releated to the bands feelings regarding their loss, which would form their fourth album Comfort in Sound and was a commercial and critical sucsess, also spawning a 21 date sell-out national tour of 60,000 tickets and then an arena tour at the end of 2003. Most of the following year in 2004, was spent recording their fifth studio album Pushing the Senses. While being met with mixed reviews it became the bands most sucsessful album chart wise, peaking at #2.
As of December 2006, according to the ranking system in the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles and Albums, Feeder are one of the most successful UK chart acts of all-time based on the combination of single and album chart weeks, as they rank at #500 or above at #457. To date they have twenty-three top 75 singles, and five top 10 albums.
