Final Straw was released on 4 August 2003 under Black Lion, a subsidiary of Polydor Records. Its music was the same as on the band’s first two albums, and no attempt was made to change the sound to something more radio-friendly. Final Straw came out in the US in 2004 and sold more than 250,000 copies. It became the 26th most popular album in the UK that year and was eventually certified five-times platinum. In 2005, on a tour to support the album, the band were an opening act for U2 on the Vertigo Tour in Europe. Snow Patrol played a short set in London that summer at the worldwide benefit concert Live 8 . After a two-year tour of Final Straw , the band took time off and began writing and recording songs for a new album. Snow Patrol’s version of John Lennon ‘s ” Isolation ” was released on 10 December 2005 as part of the Amnesty International campaign Make Some Noise . The song was issued on the 2007 John Lennon tribute album, Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur .
