Coldplay is a post-Britpop/alternative rock band from London, England well known for their rock melodies and introspective lyrics.

The band consists of:

• Chris Martin: lead vocals, piano/keyboard, guitar
• Jon Buckland: guitar, harmonica, backing vocals
• Guy Berryman: bass guitar, synthesizer, harmonica, backing vocals
• Will Champion: drums/percussion, piano, backing vocals.

Coldplay's early material was reminiscent of artists such as Radiohead, Oasis, Jeff Buckley, Travis and Kate Bush. Martin has stated that he has been hugely influenced by U2. Other influences include a-ha, R.E.M, Echo and the Bunnymen and, more recently, Johnny Cash and Kraftwerk. Before his death, Cash was actually scheduled to record the track "'Til Kingdom Come" written by the band.
