Snow Patrol are more than a one-hit wonder. They’ve got an array of great songs besides that one that was overplayed on Grey’s Anatomy. “Run” and “Chocolate” instantly come to mind, but the words together, however, sound weird. Anyway, the band have a pretty cool contest going on at YouTube with people being encouraged to upload videos representing their city to tie in with their new single “Take Back The City.”
Users can create their video and upload it to the Snow Patrol YouTube group page and be entered to win an Apple Macbook, iPod touch’s and some Snow Patrol schwag. If I entered, I’d show everything from Yonkers, NY… all the historic sights like the sanitation workers who talk to themselves. Click here to enter.
