Could Coldplay about to completely change their sound?

Chris Martin has announced that over the coming year Coldplay will significantly be changing their musical style.

The frontman says the band have a lot to achieve before their impending 10-year anniversary.

He told The Sun: "We feel bands need to fill their first 10 years, so we have lots to do before December 31st 2009.

"I know it's stupid, but that's kind of our deadline. We have to do something good by then."

In 2008, Coldplay enjoyed enormous success with their fourth album Vida La Vida or Death And All His Friends; but while Martin admits they have achieved some "pretty good stuff" since their debut album was released in 2000, the arrival of 2010 will bring a new era.

He added: "I'll be 33 that year, and I always feel that marks a different phase of songwriting. So I just try to keep as busy as possible till then.

"Most of my heroes did most of their great stuff before they were 33. It's not that you can't do great stuff afterwards. You just have to have deadlines, otherwise you'll spend all day in the sauna."
