FAN power rules. Feeder enjoy a special relationship with their devotees, 2,500 of whom signed a petition to see Shatter released as a single.

And here it is, on a double A-side featuring songs used in the Russian fantasy-thriller Nightwatch, which is in cinemas this week.

Shatter is a reminder of Feeder's fun-indie past, and has more than enough catchy, jerky energy to rekindle the summer spirit.

Tender, on the other hand, is a 'mature' slowie with touching, uplifting lyrics and a melancholy air that'll make you want to hug a stranger.

Released October 10, 2005.
