Coldplay band history and info

Coldplay, is led by singer Chris Martin and guitarist Jonny Buckland. The band has been one of freshest and best English pop-rock bands of the late 90's and early 2000's. They have been compared to a sleek combination of other great bands preceding them such as The Verve or Radiohead, also The Smiths, but their sound is definitely a unique one.
Their First EP called Safety containined the first version of Bigger Stronger, the single Brothers And Sisters and was followed up with a 5 song EP called The Blue Room with the tracks High Speed and Don't Panic and was considered to be more pop than British rock.

Cold play first reached the U.S. rock and pop charts with their debut album, Parachutes with the hit song Yellow.
Less than two years later the British rock quartet would follow-up with "A Rush of Blood to the Head" which would crown the band with much success, bringing their record sales up over the 10 million mark.
But with all the successes of Coldplay's albums, their real genius lies in their ability to perform live concerts, outshining many other bands who can do good in the studio but not bring that same magic to the stage.
Their newest album, X & Y has already been critically acclaimed and sold over 1 million copies and it's no surprise to Coldplay's fans everywhere that their concert tours are selling out all over North America as well as the world.

It all started in 1996, when four classmates at the University College London met at their dormitory. After a few years playing to small audiences at underground clubs, Coldplay was signed to a record deal and produced its first major release, “Parachutes.” The album was an immediate hit in England, topping the charts in the UK. But it didn’t garner much attention in the United States until the hit singles “Yellow” and “Trouble” found their way onto the American airways. America caught on quickly, and soon, the band was being hailed as the next REM or Radiohead, two of the band’s early inspirations.

By the time the band’s second album, “A Rush of Blood to the Head,” was released in August of 2002, Coldplay tickets had become a well-known commodity. With hit singles like “In my Place,” “The Scientist,” and “Clocks,” Coldplay’s second major release hit No. 1 in the UK again and reached No. 5 on the American charts, solidifying the band’s status as one of the top modern rock acts around.
