Snow Patrol are one of the biggest and boldest bands of the past decade. Over fifteen years and five studio albums, the part Scottish, part Irish five piece - singer / songwriter Gary Lightbody, bassist Paul Wilson, guitarist Nathan Connolly, Jonny Quinn on drums and keyboardist Tom Simpson - have sketched heart-bruised ballads ("Set Down Your Glass") and arm-around-your-best-mate festival anthems ("Run"); radio hits ("Chasing Cars") and moments of painful introspection ("You Could Be Happy").

All of these have been gathered together for the fine collection, 'Up to Now', a thirty track, double album of singles, cover versions, rarities, album tracks and a handful of new songs as well as compositions by the Reindeer Section - an indie supergroup featuring members of Scotland's guitar elite, Belle and Sebastian, Idlewild and Teenage Fanclub among many others - and co-ordinated by Lightbody. "It's a portrait of us as a band, warts and all" says Lightbody. "We've climbed a hill and now we're looking back and taking in the view for a bit. It's nice to show people that we didn't just arrive overnight."

From their formation in Scotland in 1994, the band's hard-earned rise has seen them become one of the world's biggest bands, culminating in them selling over ten million copies of their last three albums - 2003's 'Final Straw', 'Eyes Open' (released in 2006) and 'A Hundred Million Suns' (2008), taking in Grammy, BRIT, BMI, Meteor and Ivor Novello nominations and awards along the way.

The Deluxe Edition of 'Up to Now' is a two CD digipack set with an additional DVD which offers two exclusive documentaries, 'The Lightning Strike' animated film and previously unseen live footage.
