Coldplay appears in...
Hollywood Undead

The group may be called Hollywood Undead, but they’ve proven that music is very much alive in the digital age.

Motel

With their single-word moniker and an energetic style that incorporates the rhythms of pop, punk and alternative, Mexico City-based Motel heralds a new dynamic in the ever-accelerating currents of modern Latin rock. Their hooky single “Dime Ven” was the precursor to their self-titled Warner Music debut album, a well-received introduction that earned songwriter Rodrigo Dávila a 2006 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song and honors for…

O.T.I.S.

Pop, punk, country, emo, indie, blah blah blah. How do you describe the music of worldofotis? It’s like trying to describe an emotion. It’s happy, it’s sad, it’s carefree, it’s raw. It’s the whimsical nature of the Flaming Lips, mixed with the melancholy of Coldplay. They convey what they believe: life isn’t always easy, but don’t take it too seriously. The band itself…

There is, not surprisingly, a lot more to it than that. Blunt’s family has a long military tradition, so they weren’t exactly at a loss when it came time to advise the nascent singer/songwriter on a paying profession. “Like…
