![]() After the tour along the South America, Coldplay got down to the new record, baring the title of Viva La Vida. In April 2006, Martin became the father for the second time - Gwyneth gave birth to their son Moses. The rockers also have recommended themselves as the regular guests of various charity festivals and social activists for different organizations. After the third release, Coldplay went on the Twisted Logic Tour. The album produced three piercing rock hits: Speed Of Sound, Fix You and Talk. In June 2004, the X&Y was released - it became the best-selling album of 2005 in the world. In May 2004, Chris Martin and his wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, became the parents of their daughter Apple. In 2004, the members of Coldplay were seldom seen on public due to the record of their third studio attempt, devoted to the theme of love find and relations stability. In August 2002, Coldplay finished the second long-play A Rush Of Blood To The Head with the lead single The Scientist. By 2001, the musicians became the big stars on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Coldplay's forceful comeback to Glastonbury became the pure triumph. The brightest hit from the album was melodic pop track Yellow. The first full-length of this rock command titled Parachutes became the hit not only in England, but also in the USA - after their support tour for Parachutes. Luckily, the quartet managed to eliminate all the disagreements and concentrated on the work over the debut album. However, the members of Coldplay had so many conflicts during the recording sessions of this EP that the band was on the brink of collapse. ![]() The Bigger Stronger single from The Blue Room EP, which followed the band's appearance at the Glastonbury festival, focused the attention of the British audience on the young command. By that moment the artists were finishing the college - they switched to major studio Parlophone after they graduated. The same year, Coldplay recorded its first EP Safety, which brought the band the contract with the independent label Fierce Panda. Soon after Champion joined the command, it was renamed in Coldplay - the artists got this title from the other band that refused from it, considering it "too depressive". Initially he was going to be the drummer, but after he learned how to play the drums, he became the guitarist, bassist and keyboardist for the band. In the beginning of 1998, Will Champion entered the collective. The trio started giving concerts in local small clubs. At first, they formed the duo called Pectoralz, but later renamed the collective in Starfish after their school friend Guy Berryman joined the group. As a result, Coldplay are thought as either a punchline showing all that’s wrong with 21st century rock, or a really good if overplayed band with songs tailor made for stadium performances.Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland met at the University College London during their study years. Both won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and spawned sucessful singles such as “Clocks”, “Viva la Vida”, “In My Place”, “Violet Hill” and “The Scientist”.Ĭoldplay also proved they can use truly rock sounds in their albums, as shown in X&Y, and juggle with more electronics albums like Mylo Xyloto, Ghost Stories or A Head Full of Dreams.Īs a result, the band became one of the most commercially successful acts of the new millennium, with over 80 million albums sold – even if along with the acclaim came a vocal opposition, due to the supposedly derivative nature, the overtly emotional lyrics, and the fact they’re good-mannered English boys instead of wild rockstars. The greatest examples are second album A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), which was generally considered to be musically and lyrically more mature and sophisticated, and less obviously the product of one particular influence, and the fourth one Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), where producer Brian Eno influenced the band to broaden their sound and led to various sonic landscapes. But the group’s hooks, sharpened by frontman Chris Martin’s ability to pull heartstrings, and the their willingness to evolve their sound, gave Coldplay staying power. ![]() ![]() No doubt, Coldplay’s sound -elegant, melodic, vaguely spacey and very dramatic - bore plenty of similarity to mid-1990s Radiohead. Once they issued their debut, Parachutes in 2000, many saw them as a Radiohead knock-off. They were previously known as Pectoralz, then changed their name to Starfish in 1997 before finally settling on the name Coldplay. ![]() The band’s name comes from Tim Crompton, a student who was in the same university as the members (University College London) at the time. Coldplay is a British rock band, formed in 1997 by University College London classmates Chris Martin (vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar) and Guy Berryman (bass), along with drummer Will Champion. ![]()
