-Welcome back to the Deep Discog Dive.
Check out my new business card.
I've consciously coupled my way to
the ultimate title of Coldplay defender.
Not that they need much defending anyways.
This is Coldplay we're talking about.
Everybody loves Coldplay.
In fact, I'm going to go
onto Twitter right now to share
my new title,
and then finally, the entire internet
will think I'm cool.
You guys hate him?
Today, we're talking about Coldplay.
Let's dive in.

-Is there anything I can do
to make it better?
-Yes, you can make Chris Martin
go away now.
-I'm so sorry, guys.
I didn't mean to cause--
-No, no.
It's not you personally.
-University College London in 1996.
Two blokes, Chris Martin
and Johnny Buckland, met
during orientation week.
They started writing songs the next year.
When it came time to record demos,
they added Guy Berryman
and gave themselves
the name Big Fat Noises.
In 1998, Will Champion
was added as drummer,
just in time for their first gig
in Camden under a new name, Starfish.
That name did not live
as long as an actual starfish.
It was soon changed to Coldplay.
That name came from a friend
and fellow musician
who was thinking of names
for his new band.
He had come across the Philip Horky book,
Child's Reflections Cold Play.
He thought Coldplay sounded cool,
but didn't use it.
Later, in May 1998, Coldplay
released the Safety EP.
Their friend Phil Harvey helped fund it,
and he eventually became
the band's manager.
Only 500 copies were made,
but like most early band demos,
it has since found
a home on God's internet.
The impact made by Safety was small,
but steady momentum in the local scene
culminated in a September 1998
showcase performance in Manchester.
This show set off a bit of a bidding war
between a few labels, and in April 1999,
Coldplay signed to Parlophone.
Parlophone helped Coldplay
get to bigger stages,
like the new band's tent
at Glastonbury 1999.
See, there they are on the poster,
with Wilco, Built to Spill,
and the famous band, Gay Dad.
Their proper debut single,
Brothers and Sisters,
released in April 1999
and later in October,
we got the band's second EP,
The Blue Room.
What's notable about this one is not only
the handful of songs that will go on
