God Bless TheChurchofChrisMartin.com, the funniest Coldplay website out there,  who have set up a myspace page for their band - The Cold Mountain Singers, who do Coldplay covers -  country style. Go check out their covers of ‘Yeller’, ‘The Scientist’ and ‘Fix Y’all’. Brilliant!

Cold Mountain Singers are Jim Gilhooley (Banjo, vocals)and Tom Gilhooley (Guitar, vocals) and their influences are: Coldplay, chitlins, racoons, our Ma and Pa.

Genius!
