Up To Now includes three previously unreleased songs, "Just Say Yes" "Dark Roman Wine" and "Give Me Strength", as well songs from the two albums Snow Patrol released on UK indie label Jeepster Records: 1998's Songs For Polarbears and 2001's When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up. The album also includes two songs by The Reindeer Section � an indie supergroup featuring members of Belle and Sebastian, Idlewild, Mogwai and Teenage Fanclub, among many others � from their 2002 album for Bright Star Recordings, Son of Evil Reindeer.
Other highlights include a cover of Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" that was recorded as a live track for BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe's evening session at Maida Vale in London (with a rap performed by Lowe). Up To Now also features live versions of Snow Patrol's hit singles "Run" (from their 2003 album Final Straw) and the double-platinum "Chasing Cars" (from 2006's Eyes Open) that were recorded at London's Union Chapel as part of an exclusive one-off show put on by Radio 1 presenter Jo Whiley to raise money for the charity MENCAP.
Snow Patrol is singer, songwriter Gary Lightbody, bassist Paul Wilson, guitarist Nathan Connolly, drummer Jonny Quinn and keyboardist Tom Simpson. Since the mostly-Irish band formed in Scotland in 1994, the band's hard-earned rise has seen them become one of the world's biggest bands, culminating in sales of more than 10 million copies of their last three albums, taking in Grammy, BRIT, BMI, Meteor, and Ivor Novello nominations and awards along the way.
Snow Patrol have recently finished up supporting US tours with Coldplay and U2 and are currently on a headlining tour.
