lol......i think your right but if we're shit and we sound nothing like them.....thas what we want i would never want to be a copy of a band......especially not coldplay their hard to follow....lol

i take it....that the forums have spoken...lol we do not sound like coldplay nor will we ever

A coldplay tribute band?

nah not a tribute band those are some of our early recordings.....we were initially a cover band....but we came up with the song "cos I Love You" which motivated us to write our own stuff....but coldplay was the start of it all for us.....we got our inspirations from them.....thas why we still do covers every now and again at our shows

Any time a band used a piano in a ballad nowadays, they get compared to Coldplay,lol. Drifting Out To Sea reminds me a bit of Chris's low voice, and his lyrics, but I don't think overall that you sound like Coldplay. Some of the keyboards in This Is How The World Is also remind me of X&Y era CP. It's obvious from your arrangements that you're inspired by them.

 

And it's really nice music. I like it alot!! Thanks for sharing.:)

The music is good...

Until the singing begins

its okay my friend people have their own opinion we went to the UK and they loved the singing there and many other places here in the states they loved the singing so one statement aint gonna stop what we're doing.....especially since our lead singer has just started singing lesson

Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but I would have phrased it differently, that's all. ANyway, I like the vocals, and with some coaching, they'll only get better.:)(I'm glad you're mature enough not to take it personally!)

Oh wow! I like your Music guys. Good stuff, especially "This Is How The World Is" with decent vocals, a hint of technoy style, and catchy bass lines.

The lead guitar riffs in "Cos I Love You" are very Buckland-ish and simliar to "A Rush of Blood to the Head" but still nice.

And "Drifting Out to Sea" sound sort of like "For You" & "Swallowed In The Sea" put together.

 

The vocals on the "Don't Panic" cover are pretty spot on, but the guitar work needs a bit of improving....

 

Well the songs overall are a bit Coldplay-esque but so what!? Having someone say that your music sounds like Coldplay is a compliment in my books. ;)

well, here is my opinion...i think you do sound something like coldplay, except for the voice haha, but it is a really nice music, i like it :) congrats! and keep playing...
