Did Coldplay Rip-off Creaky Boards?

A video? you ask, It's not Friday....

But we thought this was important and didn't want to wait until the Friday Drive In.

My girlfriend's band, Palmyra, did a couple shows with the band Creaky Boards in 2007. Imagine our surprise when we heard that Coldplay may have ripped them off. The video below explains it all.



There's a lot of debate floating around about this (just google the names of the two bands for a taste) and now even Creaky Boards front man Andrew Hoepfner doesn't seem so sure. So what do you guys think? Stolen or just sort of similar?
