Coldplay Bio
Coldplay was formed in January 1998 by four University College London students - vocalist Chris Martin (b. March 2, 1977), guitarist Jon Buckland (b. September 11, 1977), bassist Guy Berryman (b. April 12, 1978), and drummer Will Champion (b. July 31, 1978). They had met their first week of school.
"I wanna live life, never be cruel, I wanna live life, be good to you. I wanna fly, never come down, And live my life, And have friends around." ~ from We Never Change
Self-financed demo sessions led to the production of their Safety EP in May of that year. One of the tracks, Bigger Stronger, earned the band excellent notices in the UK press. They appeared at September's "In The City" showcase for unsigned bands in Manchester, but it was at a performance at London's Camden Falcon in December that they made their mark. There, they were watched by influential journalist and Fierce Panda Records co-founder Simon Williams. Fierce Panda issued the Brothers and Sisters EP and released it a year later.
Though both EPs, Safety and Brothers and Sisters, saw limited production, they were well received and resulted in a deal with Parlophone in April 1999. A limited-edition five-track, The Blue Room EP, followed that fall. With endearing nods from the media who loved the group's simplistic acoustics and charming personas the foursome was hailed as the next Travis. Shiver and Yellow, two more EPs, were released in the spring of 2000.¹
