COLDPLAY | Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends

ADDISON ROAD | Self-Titled

Don’t be fooled by the self-titled album, this is not a brand new band. They’ve been around the block, released three independent albums and toured extensively since 2001. That said, for most (including myself), Addison Road is the first introduction to their catchy style of music.
