Patrol Gold |
PR reports: You'd have to be living in a cave
for the entirety of 2006 if Snow Patrol's steady and strong climb onwards
and upwards across the globe has not become apparent to you yet. While
their emotionally provocative and equally rocking 'Eyes Open' (Interscope)
continues to sell over the counter 30,000 weekly in the USA, Snow Patrol
have secured their place in the Top 30 on the Billboard Album Charts, consequently
resulting in scanning certified GOLD IN THE USA! The rate this musical
gem is selling is a sure fire indicator that they will be near Platinum
by the new year, as many industry insiders have predicted.
In response to their previous sold out
US tour and overwhelming demand, Snow Patrol will return to the US this
February and March where they're expected to play 3,000- 6,000 + capacity
sized venues.[see full story for dates]- Click
