ColdPlay

Many alternative rock/adult contemporary fans recognize the name ColdPlay. This London-based rock group is fairly new, having arrived on the music scene in 1998, and enjoy performing with superstars U2, Jeff Buckley, Travis, and comparable groups. They also had a performance with the late superstar Johnny Cash, and the song was a success in both the country and rock genres. They are classified as alternative rock, much like the groups Oasis and Radiohead.

ColdPlay includes Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion. The band became legendary for its tough stance on drugs, and an official band rule is that any member caught using hard core drugs will be terminated. Another rule commands that all profits are shared evenly, much like REM and U2. These regulations and others branded the band a democracy, and the group members are getting along better with this method.

At this time, the band has released four albums and performed worldwide. They are participants in charity organizations and at one time donated a full tenth of their earnings to charity. The Make Trade Fair campaign was one of the charity organizations that the band contributed to and collaborated with, until its official dissolution in 2005.
