If you’re planning on going to any of Coldplay’s summer shows in Europe then you’ll be in for an evening of treats. Aside from the headlining band themselves, the four-piece have picked some pretty damn good support bands to help them out. The two most prominent include Bat For Lashes (who is recently setting US [...]
MUSIC NEWS - COLDPLAY has announced via their website that their recently cancelled show at the Saratoga Springs Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, NY (May 27 gig) which was postponed because of illness, has now been officially rescheduled for July 27th. But, in order for the band to reschedule the Saratoga Springs concert, the Jones Beach show (NYC area) announced earlier this ...
It’s hard to say if Chris Martin’s penchant for self-deprecating comments in interviews reveals an honest humility or faux sincerity. Either way, the man provides plenty of fodder for Coldplay fans and Schadenfreudists alike, so away we go.In an...
In a reaction to Joe Satriani’s copyright infringement lawsuit, Coldplay drummer Will Champion recently pointed out that only “the successful songs seem to be the ones that are accused of being stolen.” Frontman Chris Martin has now spoken out with...
Who the hell would have thought that Coldplay had it in them? Sure, the very tired sounding X & Y did have it's moments of grandeur- such as the towering, anthemic chorus of personal favorite "White Shadows" and the catchy, though hardly eye opening, "Talk." Yet it didn't prevent many of us from wondering if we would see the band release 5 more X & Y clones in the next 10 years. Would the band ...
It was October 20. Ottawa, Ontario. It was a dark, windy night. And a little chilly. The kind of weather best suited for a nice cashmere sweater and a scarf, perhaps a late-afternoon hot chocolate. Not a star was in sight, unless of course you count music act Stars at the Scotiabank Place arena. Having released the Sad Robots EP back in September, Stars were clearly excited to be performing li...
You can find my Prospekt's March review at:http://treblezine.com/reviews/2948-Coldplay_Prospekt_s_March_EP.htmlColdplayProspekt's March EPCapitol2008Since I was the Trebbler who wrote about Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, I think it's fitting that yours truly should be the one who reviews Prospekt's March.

Hey guys I was asked by Luis from Pretty Much Amazing to write a review for Coldplay's new EP "Prospekt's March" for his site. Well my review is finally up, you can check it out right here . Some people think the review is a bit generous, but I felt that there was enough decent material on it to push it over 6. Even the last songs that I disliked aren't TERRIBLE....it's just that Coldplay could...
1586, 1775, 1812, 1964, and now 2009? Last Sunday's Grammy Awards has led some to ask if we are witnessing a new British Invasion. Robert Plant won five awards, while Adele, Duffy, Radiohead, and Estelle picked up another six between them. Coldplay headed the British contingent in 2009 with seven nominations, three awards, major label backing, and pretentious notions of being a "great band." Ho...

Well it's the end of another gorgeous month here in the heartland of the States. Gasp, I am an American blogger. I live in the armpit of America where nothing unusually awesome ever happens. Which is probably why I have so much free time to listen to music and play like my opinions matter {which we all know they really do}. Once again, though, the time has come for me to post my favorite re...
Coldplay have admitted there are striking similarities between the two songs, but refute the plagiarism claim saying the resemblance is purely coincidental. Unfortunately for the band, the plagiarism accusation has also forced another skeleton out from the Coldplay closet. Curiously, another lesser known group by the name of Creaky Boards have also accused Coldplay of plagiarism in July, 2008? ...
