 In a 2008 interview with Kerrang ! on a selection of the band 's singles , Nicholas expressed his annoyance with comparisons between Coldplay and the album Pushing the Senses ; he said that those comparisons were only made because he played a piano on many of the tracks that were on the album . In a 2011 interview with Cambridge @-@ based webzine The Tab , he elaborated on his position regarding these comparisons , saying , " Feeder have a much broader music dynamic musically , and we are a much heavier band , both live and on record . I have a lot of respect for Coldplay and we have toured with them , but we are two totally different bands , both dynamically and musically . I just think it 's lazy journalism . "
