Nerina Goes To War With Coldplay

Singer Nerina Pallot is headed for hits at the age of 30 - but says she'll be snubbed by bigger acts for slagging them off.

Nerina's first single from new album Fires - Everybody's Gone To War - seems set to be a hit. She has compared Coldplay's lyrics to "bad A-level poetry" and slated Green Day and Live8. She said: "I always think I'm the arbiter of good taste, so you have to take me with a pinch of salt."

Her album - out May 22, the same day she plays Edinburgh's Liquid Room - is already winning rave reviews.
