ABOUT THE BAND:The Brit-rock quartet Coldplay are Chris Martin (vocals), Jon Buckland (guitar), Will Champion (drums), and Guy Berryman (bass). Forming at the University College of London in early 1998, Coldplay stepped onto the music scene in 1994. Coldplay independently released The Safety EP in 1998, with the Brothers and Sisters EP being picked up by Fierce Panda and released a year later. Their sweet melodies and swooning lyrics landed Coldplay a UK deal with Parlophone in April 1999, and the limited edition five-track The Blue Room EP followed that fall. Two more EPs, Shiver and Yellow, arrived in spring 2000. Their full-length debut Parachutes, which earned the band a Mercury Music Prize nomination, was released in the UK shortly thereafter. In November 2000, Parachutes saw a US release with “Nettwerk”; a month later “Yellow” was chosen as the theme song for all promo spots for ABC. The well-received hype surrounding the band continued throughout 2001 as well, taking on three Brit Awards nominations and a sold out ten date tour of the U.S. in February. Most recently Coldplay released under Capitol Records A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002).
