After looking back at Coldplay in 2006, it's time to take a peek at the next 12 months and find out what might happen in 2007...   A new album?   In April 2006, Guy made the following statement: "We hope to have something together by January. We're going to make sure with our new album that everyone remembers why Coldplay are one of the best bands in the world."   Bassist Guy Berryman said that the group feel inspired to experiment more with their new songs. "I don't want to generalise it and sa

9 years ago, the rarest Coldplay rare of them all appeared online - Ode To Deodorant. The recording, which was a demo and never professionally released, surfaced on the Coldplaying.com forums much to the amazement and pure delight of fans worldwide.   The accompanying photo of The Coldplay's cassette features a contact phone number, which belonged to Coldplay's manager back then (and now creative boss), Phil Harvey. The number, unsurprisingly went out of service, sometime after it's origin dat

Here are two wonderful pieces of Coldplay artwork, created and submitted by the very talented Harmony Carrigan. They’re exquisite.    

The casual observer would roundly label Harvey Danger as the textbook definition of a one-hit wonder: The Seattle band rose to prominence in the late '90s on the strength of the intensely catchy single "Flagpole Sitta" off its 1997 debut Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?, and then seemed to disappear. But Harvey Danger was busy breaking away from the clichéd arc that dogs most groups that are suddenly hugely successful.   To commemorate his band's passing, Harvey Danger frontman Sean Nelson

More questions answered by The Oracle... (over 2000 questions now answered - submit yours now!)   June 9, 2011 - submitted by Daniel, Canada Q. Dear Oracle, I really need to know, have Coldplay lost their touch? I know that they've collaborated with Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson to write Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, but do they now need to rely on other people writing their music for them? Is this the direction the band is headed? The Oracle replies: Er, Peter Allen is dead so that's impos

This is one of the most exciting times to be a Coldplay fan. On the verge of a new album era (soon to be defunct "LP5") we're almost upon the new single, so we're given to believe after Monday's latest video from ColdplayTV. The 'final' video teaser arrived with the following lyrics: "But my heart is beating and my pulses start / Cathedrals in my heart / And we saw oh this light / I swear you, emerge blinking into / to tell me it's alright / as we soar walls / every siren is a symphony / and eve

If you have been on holiday on a different planet you may not yet know that Coldplay have now premiered the video to their new single 'Strawberry Swing'.   Coldplay now rest among the biggest bands on this planet, Earth.

Coldplay may have been delayed by an errant, drenching thunderstorm in their first Hershey appearance Sunday at the Stadium. And singer Chris Martin said he was burned coming onstage and was thus in a less-than-charitable mood.   But no one showed their irritation on either end, and the band delivered a sparkling performance in support of their hugely-successful and Grammy-winning album "Viva La Vida." Starting with the instrumental "Life in Technicolor," the quartet marching onstage with spark

What do Green Day, Bono, Shakira, Chris Martin and the Stones have in common? They're on fans' friends-and-family plans   Coldplay loves cellphones. And camera phones, too.   Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash.   If you took your eyes away from Chris Martin and the gang long enough, that's what it looked like at the concert last Wednesday.   All night, Seattleites felt free to take photos of the fellas. The flashes lit up KeyArena, usually during fast songs. And during the ballads, the aud

At precisely 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 9th, Julie Grayauskie, a social worker in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, called Ticketmaster on two phones and logged on to ticketmaster.com on her computer. She had seen Bruce Springsteen seventeen times on the Rising tour and desperately wanted a ticket to his May 19th show at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey.   Forty-five minutes later, she gave up. "You get online right away, it tells you your wait time is less than a minu

DIRECT flights from Scotland to Geneva make it easy to dash off for a ski weekend in the Alps - just make sure you bag the best chalet .   Le Chardon is far removed from the cheap and cheerful (ie basic and cramped) end of the market. It offers the high levels of comfort and service demanded by well-heeled skiers, and since 1995 has played host to corporate clients from investment banks, as well as families from more than 50 countries. It was also pleasing to learn, as Charlie the chalet girl po

Wednesday 25 January saw the second leg of Coldplay’s USA tour begin. But with the band due to play the Grammys in Los Angeles on 5 February this caused logistical problems with the equipment. So, to help out Hiwatt was called upon by the band’s British based management team to provide another bass rig for Guy Berryman. According to his guitar tech, Hoppy, Guy wants to use nothing else but his Hiwatts.   A similar problem also occurred when the band performed at the Brits held in Earl’s Court Ar
