NO. I think they have a few catchy tunes, but Chris Martin is so goddamn full of himself that I can’t take them seriously. Coldplay is like intro to indie, that kinda faux alternative that will still sell out to iTunes, even though they don’t need the exposure that those ads have given some up and coming artists. There’s a Mikrofisch song called “The Kids Are All Shite” in which they lament about cheap indie knockoff bands, and Coldplay is the first one they mention (followed by Keane, Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Jet, Razorlight, Kings of Leon, and the Dead Sixties, if that gives you any indication of the general grouping they’ve put Coldplay in…). I couldn’t agree more. And yeah, the Sgt. Pepper ripoff costumes need to go.
