![]() But the group’s hooks, sharpened by frontman Chris Martin’s ability to pull heartstrings, and the their willingness to evolve their sound, gave Coldplay staying power. No doubt, Coldplay’s sound -elegant, melodic, vaguely spacey and very dramatic - bore plenty of similarity to mid-1990s Radiohead. Once they issued their debut, Parachutes in 2000, many saw them as a Radiohead knock-off. They were previously known as Pectoralz, then changed their name to Starfish in 1997 before finally settling on the name Coldplay. The band’s name comes from Tim Crompton, a student who was in the same university as the members (University College London) at the time. Coldplay is a British rock band, formed in 1997 by University College London classmates Chris Martin (vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar) and Guy Berryman (bass), along with drummer Will Champion.
