Have you figured it out yet? You better not of peeked. Seriously. Look at the list, my list to be more specific, to see what band it could possibly be. The biography for this week will be about…Coldplay! You didn’t see that one coming now did you? They’re only on my list twice. Anyways, here is the biography!

The Story Of Coldplay:

First of all, isn’t this title the best? It’s just really dramatic, and I’m loving it right now. Some of my favorite songs by them are “Spies”, “Viva la Vida”, “Paradise”, “Clocks”, and “Magic”. I grew up listening to Coldplay’s music. My mom loves them and now so do I. I mean, they formed in 1998 at the University College of London in…London. They formed the year that I was born. Martin and Jon Buckland formed the band at college. They were both guitarists, yet Martin also played piano and sang. They were later joined by drummer Will Champion and bassist Guy Berryman. Their first shows were performed under the label “the Coldplay”. They obviously changed their name but not by much. Coldplay’s first EP, Safety, came out in 1998. They got started right away. Brothers and Sisters EP was released the following year, and they signed on with Parlophone. Parachutes was their first album and “Yellow” became an instant hit. EVERYONE knew it. It was one of the first awesome yet overplayed songs of 2001. Coldplay has a pretty lengthy history, so I will continue their biography next week. Until next time, see you later alligators!
