Judging by their newer output, Trevor and Christopher Wiitala are both clearly fans of Coldplay (though you'd never guess it based on their previous band, The Blamed, a hard-touring but strained punk-rock outfit). The Wiitalas' new Bad Blood could be qualified as minimalist indie pop-rock, but it’s something much more effective than that might suggest. The duo’s stark guitars and lingering vocals tend to waft around, electrifying the air with their simplicity. So it shouldn’t matter much that they sound remarkably like Coldplay.
