The bandmates came together in 1997 while attending the University College of London, and the Safety EP was issued shortly after their first gig at a Manchester festival for unsigned bands.
Scotland native Berryman preferred funk to indie rock, thereby leaving him to play bass, while multi-instrumentalist Champion didn't plan to be a drummer until he joined Coldplay's lineup. Buckland, on the other hand, grew up with the heavy guitar sounds of Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. Martin, the eldest of five, began playing the piano as a young child and later took solace in the work of Tom Waits. In 2021, they issued their ninth set, Music of the Spheres.īandmembers Chris Martin (vocals/piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar), Will Champion (drums), and Guy Berryman (bass) were all born into musical households.
#COLDPLAY ALBUM FULL#
After the band's first three LPs went multi-platinum in several countries, Coldplay continued to mature, topping their early success with higher record sales, an ever-evolving sound that absorbed multiple genres (as heard on 2011's Mylo Xyloto, 2015's A Head Full of Dreams, and 2019's Everyday Life), and record-breaking global stadium tours. Coldplay's emergence was perfectly timed: with Radiohead embracing cerebral electronic soundscapes and Oasis further exploring psychedelic experimentation, audiences were hungry for a fresh-faced rock group with big aspirations and an even bigger sound. Surfacing in 2000 with the breakthrough single "Yellow," British group Coldplay quickly became one of the biggest acts of the early 21st century, honing a blend of earnest Brit-pop and anthemic rock that helped push the band to the top of album charts worldwide with multi-platinum albums such as Parachutes (2000), A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), and Viva La Vida (2008).
