I didn't hate them! The Field Mice that is. Defintely a case of wrong place,wrong time, NME-unfashionable. The name certainly didn't help. I remember when bands like Belle & Sebastian and the Delgados (well, B & S mainly) started getting very popular, thinking of the similarity with bands like the Field Mice and the Orchids. A Coldplay/Field Mice similarity hasn't crossed my mind, but I've not heard Coldplay beyond the obvious ones.
