Snow Patrol "Nobody Recognises Us"

Although Snow Patrol are one of the most popular indie bands in the world, the group say nobody recognises them - not even their fans!
Singer Gary Lightbody revealed their lack of celebrity status, but feels fortunate he can live a normal live like everybody else.
"Even our own fans would have trouble picking us out of a line-up." He told the Times. "We're very lucky in that the songs are the famous things, so we can walk around anywhere unrecognised."
"We will be in a clothes shop with our songs playing on the radio and nobody even raises an eyebrow, even in the UK."
Snow Patrol are releasing a 30-track compilation album on November 9, which includes fan favourites, covers, rare songs and 3 brand new recordings.
Gary says of the 2CD set: "Calling it a greatest hits album would be a bit grandiose. We've had eight or nine hits in the UK, so we're calling it a history."
"A look back at the past 15 years - and it's not the end. We'd like 15 years more. But we're all riding on luck. Every band is."
