Snow Patrol recorded two albums under Jeepster, Songs for Polarbears (in 1998) and When It’s All Over We Still Have to Clear Up (in 2001). Both were recorded while the band lived in Glasgow, where Lightbody used to hold a job at the Nice n Sleazy’s Bar in Sauchiehall Street. Both albums were critically lauded, but failed to make any impression commercially. Despite the record deal, the band was struggling. They started to work harder, and toured more to promote their albums, but continued to be in debt. They slept on fans’ floors after concerts and pretended to be members of Belle & Sebastian to get into nightclubs. They owed rent to their landlords and used to receive regular visits and letters from them when on tour. After the failure of the second album, the band began to think what was going wrong. The band realized that the label’s lax attitude towards management and record promotion was harming their career, even though these were the qualities they had liked before. They realized that a lot of help was needed to succeed.Get your tickets of all your favorite events at Ticket Market like Snow Patrol Concert Tickets.
