What’s the difference between Coldplay and Death Cab For Cutie?
I know they’re two separate bands, but their music always sounds oddly similar to me. I guess Coldplay is a little more influenced by U2, with a “bigger” sound, but it still is really the same to my ears.
Both are a bit too boring for my taste…
But I have tried both, so i am making a fair judgement.
They do sound very similar in the ways of their vocals
Death Cab is more acoustical

I really like coldplay and its been a while since their last album came out and about time for a new one. Are there any new albums coming out soon by them?
Yes! The news of another album was released on their website about a month ago! It’s for sale on either June 16 or 17, I think it depends on what part of the world you live in. Should be available in all record stores.
It’s called Viva La Vida, which is literal Spanish for Live the Life.
The song list was released a bit later:
Life in Technicolour
Cemeteries of London
Lost!
42
Lovers in Japan/ Reign of Love
Yes
Viva la Vida
Violet Hill
Strawberry Swing
Death and All His Friends
I would kill to see them in concert. Only wish they’d come here… http://www.coldplay.com/index.php
