Feeder first saw mainstream success from their third album Echo Park (2001), with its first single "Buck Rogers" becoming their first top 10 hit. Two Kerrang! Award wins in 2001 and 2003 for "Best British Live Act" and "Best British Band" later followed. 2010 saw the band launch a side project band called Renegades on their own Big Teeth Music label, after Echo ceased existence as a label themselves.
