Meet a band inspired by the two best bands of the last decade (Nirvana and Radiohead). A band - average age 20 - with eighty songs and four record deals around the world. A band who've spent the 90's cut off and disenfranchised. A band who won't be happy until they've ripped the heart from your chest and shattered your eardrums. Meet MUSE. From England. But not so you'd notice.

The rock trio consists of guitarist/vocalist Matthew Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenhome and drummer Dominic Howard. The group's emotive sound and live dates drew critical acclaim and industry buzz, and after a trip to New York's CMJ festival, Muse signed a deal with Maverick Records. Their debut full-length album Showbiz was released toward the end of 1999. Two years later, Muse issued The Origin of Symmetry and had a major hit with Hyper Music. In 2002, fans were treated to the double-disc live set Hullabaloo. Their latest album Absolution is clearly the product of three mid twenties musicians at the height of their powers, determined to push their aesthetic all the way.

“Matt Bellamy has put together a collection of simple, poetic, transparent songs that re-engage with the old words and values; honour, courage and righteousness. It’s one long love letter to the Impossible Dream, and it WILL NOT SURRENDER. There’s been no record released yet this century with stakes so high. Musically, it could have been a disaster. But one man’s prog is another man’s progress, and every guitar here sounds like it’s from the future, every flourish and movement scored and orchestrated with the celestial vision. By indulging every pomp rock wet dream he’s ever had, Matt’s found that there’s no such thing as too much distortion, and that, when you care this much, chartbusting tunes really do fall from the sky…..On earth, Muse have made the UK Rock record of the year, but as it is in heaven, they’ve created a scripture; the defining document of a new religion no more complicated than Bellamy’s crystal clear lyrics.” (NME)

Bringing this holy vision onto the stage is second nature to these world-travellers. Live, Muse manage to seduce the unconverted, and reaffirm the fanatical devotion of their fans . “As balmy late evening sunshine gives way to darkness and cascades of rain, so Ash's breezy pop punk gives way to the tempestuous drama of Muse. It's the perfect setting for the Devon trio's heartstoppingly intense show. With Matt Bellamy plucking sounds from the air like a mad professor, Muse are truly incredible tonight, switching mood and pace to outragous effect. The rapturous applause that greets the killer conclusion of 'Muscle Museum' and 'Plug in Baby' is a heartening reminder that sometimes, just sometimes, originality and fearless, peerles ambition gets its just rewards.” (Kerrang! review, Leeds Festival)

Review about Muse

Eli | Reviewer: Eli Feuerstein | 10/19/09

I have been listening to Muse for about a week now, I have Resistance and Absolution, and I am very impressed. As a musician in the States I have been down recently, I haven't heard much of anything really good come out for awhile. Then I was told I'd be playing a song from Absolution in a show, so I figured I should listen to this band. The first song I listened to Was "Unnatural Selection", and i was hit in the face with an intro to a song that I haven't heard since sitting in music school listening to Bach and Beethoven. The song forms that they use are classical in nature and this is something that really grabs me. They combine Beethoven and Chopin with Queen's bombast, Tom Morello-ish guitar riffage and tasteful synthesizers and have forged a great, unique sound. Anyone that says they are a Radiohead ripoff are only hearing The singer's voice, which is a bit stronger than Yorke's but does have similar range and falsetto. The music is much, much different. The weakest part i would say are the guitar solos, which are very good and work great for the songs for the most part( though some are a little sloppy). This is the strongest new music I have heard in years and everyone should give it a listen. It is extremely dramatic music, which may throw some people off, and the lyrics are a bit different, but I think these are compliments rather than faults. Get into Muse y'all and and save new music from eternal damnation.
PS- guy who thinks they speak of the Revelation, you are really stretching it. But you are free interpret however you like. I personally write lyrics very similar to them, with a vision of a dystopian future and all, but I have in no way shape or form the Revelation in mind when I think of these things. I simply find the concept intriguing and relevant as the world is kind of flushing itself down the toilet right now.

very, very, very amazing | Reviewer: wahyu | 10/8/09

I'm Wahyu from "Indonesia". I live at Bojonegoro, East Java. I never hear any music else like MUSE. It so unique and amazing especially guitar melodies from Matt. I waiting for you to come to Indonesia as soon as possible. I really loved MUSE and my favourite songs is : supermassive black hole, hysteria, starlight and sing for absolution. MUSE's song is very inspired to me for created any thing. And dear to my stupid friend PESSY.

47yr old fan | Reviewer: Debbie P | 10/4/09

I heard the first few notes of a guitar, then an amazing voice, and adored what I was hearing. I had to find out who this angelic voice belonged to. I was blown away. It was Matthew Bellamy and a band called muse. Never in my 47years have I heard such genius. I am absolutely astounded by the talent these 3 musicians have. I've heard alot of music in my time and these young guys are the greatest. I had to hear more, I found a copy of Haarp, played the dvd, I was blown away once more. Now I'm a die hard fan. If they ever decide to tour Australia, I'll wouldn't miss it for the world. AND THEY'RE FROM DEVON, WHERE I WAS BORN, is it any wonder I love them. PLEASE TOUR DOWN UNDER SOON.

The Meaning of My Existance | Reviewer: whocares? | 4/18/09

So far, (since May 2008 actually) i've been tottally lost from reality with MUSE.
Not only that gives reasons to keep living with each song they write. But they also have the incredible sound that blows our minds and make us fly into a future so bright and perfect that seems away from the real world that we live everyday.

They're pure in their songs and give the feeling that they need and want to give. I'm sure that I won't stop being a Muse Fan, even though I recognized them a few months ago.

Since the showbiz guys. :) the genesis of MUSE.

incredibly soul moving music!!! | Reviewer: bern | 1/21/09

These guys are absolutely amazing! I have only been listening to Muse for two and a half years now... since Black Holes and Revelations, but now I have all four CDs and I am totally blown away by these guys... their talent is one of a kind. Believe me, when the world finds out about these guys, it's gonna be another beatlemania. there are still so many people who haven't heard them... too bad for them!!! They have something very rare, talent that you just don't find everyday. Matt's lyrics are amazing. Every single one of these three guys is an unbelievably talented musician and I think that even they aren't aware of their potential yet. I just hope that they never stop doing what they do. Like I said, SOUL MOVING MUSIC!!

crazy super awesome! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/27/08

Muse is so amazingly awesome. If you listen closely the songs have so much emotion in them. Then Matthew Bellamy makes these crazy awesome guitar riffs to go along with them, making the song that much better.
