Bangor, in County Down, Northern Ireland, is the birth place of rock band Snow Patrol.
In the early years, when the formation was still called Polar Bear, a less bright friend of the band asked over and over again ‘And how's Snow Patrol?’.

Once it became clear that the name Polar Bear was already being used by another band, the men did not hesitate and changed to the name pitched at them by their friend.
Active: 1994-present, GBR

the "less bright friend" who named them is my uncle vincent lmao he did some djing and stuff at a club with one of the band members (drummer I think?) and became pals with the band
Do you know a different explanation? Were you there when it happened? Post a comment! >>
