I was wondering if you can recall other bands that have mentioned maybe in interviews that Coldplay has musically influenced them.

I'm writing a paper about Coldplay and need to find some sources on this subject.

Any help is very welcome. :)

I would just like to scream SNOW PATROL

 

done

I've never actually heard another band say that Coldplay have influenced them.

sum 41's "Pieces" is like a photocopy of the scientist. I also believe The Kooks once said that Coldplay are the best band in the world!

they've certainly influenced me :nice:

 

..there's a band called Thirteen Senses who have quite a similar sound to Coldplay's, though I'm not sure if they've owned up to borrowing their kind of sound.

 

(I did find this: http://www.musicomh.com/albums/thirteen-senses_0407.htm ..its quite mean though. I don't think I agree with any bit of it)

 

as a complete aside, their song 'Into the Fire' is pretty fantastic.

 

anyway, good luck (:

Thirteen Senses are amazing, and they did once say they like Coldplay. The Salt Wound Routine is my favourite, or maybe History, or Contact, or Follow Me. Actually they're all pretty great.

Thanks very much for all your suggestions. :)

The band Contradiction has not taken direct influence from Coldplay into usage instrumentally, but lyrically they have some lyrics clearly influenced by such bands as Coldplay and Radiohead.

 

 

 

 

 

(Contradiction is my band:laugh3:)

Anyone heard the song "everything sounds like coldplay now"? I don't necessarily agree, but their influence definitely shows up in up and coming indie-rock bands nowadays. Athlete, for example, follows a coldplay thread in some of their songs.

Holy crap, you're right. I just listened to it for the first time, and it sounds exactly the same...

It doesn't sound close.

low vs diamond!!!!

 

 

and by the way check tem out....they are really great

When I listen The Fray I can remember Coldplay...

First two bands that come in mind are : Snow Patrol and The Fray. But I dont think that Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol) ever said something like that.
