Alternative rock band from
London, England, initially operating under the names Pectoralz and Starfish.
A
lot of hot air circulates around the origins of the band name. In one of the
stories reference is made to a Beatles song entitled Five Second Saunter (no recognized reference book mentions this title), in another a (so far untraceable) number
of the Sparks is mentioned as the source. A song called Coldplay does exist, performed
by the German metal core band Deadsoil:
‘Come on play your games
We’ll see who wins
Come on make
your moves
In this cold play’

The
most likely explanation is the one that pops up on all sides: that the band
name was cold-bloodedly nicked from a colleague who, short of success, did not do
anything with the name anyway.
Active: 1998-present, GBR
