With 28 hit singles and 6 top ten albums, the mighty Feeder will be bringing the greatest hits from their multi-platinum selling back catalogue to the main stage at this year's Hevy Music Festival.

Feeder formed in Newport, South Wales in 1992 by songwriter Grant Nicholas (vocals, guitar) and Jon Lee (drums), later joined by bassist Taka Hirose. The group's debut studio album 'Polythene' (1997) won the accolade of Metal Hammer magazine's #1 album of the year. It produced five singles including the song "High" which became Feeder's UK Top 40 breakthrough. Their second album 'Yesterday Went Too Soon' (1999), was their first appearance in the top 10 charts.

Their third album 'Echo Park' (2001), spawned the hit single "Buck Rogers" and became their first gold certified album. The following year in 2002, the band's drummer Jon Lee committed suicide in his Miami home, resulting in the band keeping out of the public eye for most of the year. It was during this time Grant Nicholas wrote a series of songs relating to their emotions and reactions to Jon's death, which formed their forth album 'Comfort in Sound' (2002). Former Skunk Anansie drummer Mark Richardson was brought in for drum duties. While the album received critical acclaim, and became their first album to be certified platinum, it also kick-started a 2003 national sell-out tour of 60,000 tickets, followed by an even bigger arena tour at the end of the year.

Their fifth album 'Pushing the Senses' (2005), became the band's highest charting release peaking at #2 and spawned a headline appearance at the Download Festival. The album's chart peak was matched a year later in 2006 by their singles compilation, and gained the band another platinum certification in the UK. In June 2008, the band released their sixth album 'Silent Cry', followed by a main stage appearance at Reading and Leeds festivals, where they performed 3^rd on the bill, before Metallica and Tenacious D.
