Feeder are an award-winning British rock band, founded in Newport, South Wales in 1992. The band were originally composed of Grant Nicholas (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Taka Hirose (bass) and Jon Lee (drums). Lee committed suicide in 2002, after which Mark Richardson took over drum duties. Dean Tidey plays guitar at all their live shows and has toured with the band since 1998, missing only their 2001 shows. During that time the bands studio engineer Matt Sime played keyboards and samples, he last played with the band in 2002 with Dean also joining them.

Feeder did not enjoy great commercial success until 2001's Echo Park, their first gold record. This was followed up by three platinum albums, with Echo Park moving up to the same level, and in 2006 picked up a gold record in Ireland for The Singles. The band also have had 19 UK top 40 singles and 5 UK top 10 albums, with "Buck Rogers" reaching #1 on the 5FM airplay chart in South Africa, which is their most famous chart for individual tracks. The follow-up "Seven Days in the Sun" appeared on the South African edition of the Now That's What I Call Music! compilation series.

Alongside their main stage appearances at the Reading/Leeds festivals, Feeder are considered by Kerrang! readers as an important presence on the British rock scene, who in early 2005 voted their first four albums into a top 100 list of British rock albums. In 2004 they were credited on the Band Aid 20 charity single, and as of December 2006, they made their way into the top 500 UK chart acts of all-time based on total chart weeks at #457, finshing above many well-known acts such as Van Halen.

Displaying a vein of guitar rock that was explained by Grant Nicholas as "heavy but melodic rock" in their earlier sound, Feeder have further incorporated elements of piano driven rock, and have also made use of a string orchestra on their 4th album Comfort in Sound. The band have cited The Police, The Beatles, The Smashing Pumpkins, U2 and ABBA alongside Sex Pistols as influences. Nicholas once described Feeder's music as "ABBA meets the Sex Pistols". At other times the band have mentioned Eels and the Pixies. In 2005, Grant was quoted saying "I wanted to do kind of what John Lennon did in some of his earlier stuff" regarding the lyrical style of the track "Frequency" on Pushing The Senses.

    Face flies, Musca autumnalis , are so named because they gather around the eyes and muzzles of livestock, particularly cattle. They may also be found on the withers, neck, brisket, and sides.
