So who is ColdPlay?  They are a group from England who make alternative music and they are also into liberal political ideas.  For example, they promote free-trade coffee and appeared in the move Make Poverty History.  It’s a cool group for other reasons too, though. They consider themselves “very heavy soft rock”, but they have been compared to Oasis and other groups.  Their newest album, Viva la Vida,  has sold a lot of copies and they are on tour to get people to buy them up. The album is very good and I encourage you to hear it!  Then, while you’re at it, you might as well go see them as well. Anyway, you can read more about them here.
