Muse
Muse. A band some of you may have heard of. They are a British rock band with a very unique sound. There is a lot of guitar and piano combinations that work very well in all of their songs. They also have very powerful lyrics, especially in the song, Time Is Running Out.It's all about how you're time is now to shine and you can't waste the day. Carpe Diem basically. Some of their songs are pretty heavy like, Stockholm Syndrome. One of my favorite songs by them is Butterflies and Hurricanes. It's all about the buildup, then it has this amazing piano solo that comes out of no where and you would think that you were listing to Mozart or some famous classical composer. It's a very cool song. Definitely one worth checking out. Here's a breif biography of the band.
The English rock trio Muse consists of guitarist/vocalist Matthew Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenhome and drummer Dominic Howard. Bored by the sleepy life their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon provided, the three friends began playing music together. They started the first incarnation of their band when they were all 13, changing the name of the group from Gothic Plague to Fixed Penalty to Rocket Baby Dolls as time passed. By 1997 the band settled on the name Muse and released their self-titled debut EP on Dangerous Records, followed by the Muscle Museum EP in 1998. The group's emotive, Radiohead-like 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. Singles like "Cave" and "Uno" preceded their debut full-length album Showbiz, which 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. Muse's fourth album, Absolution, got the usual royal treatment upon its late-2003 release. Stateside fans finally got a taste of Absolution when it was released on Warner Bros. the following March. A short North American tour in the spring coincided Muse's spot on the fifth annual Coachella Music and Arts Festival in May 2004. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
She gave a much better bio than I would have been able to come up with.

I've never heard of Muse but they sound real cool I like the idea of Piano solo's. Do you think that their being British comes out in the music? with a mix of a heavy sound with a jam band type of music sounds like it could make for some cool songs. It sounds like they are starting to get a big fan base and will probably get real big in the US. I'm definitely gonna check out this band.
This band seems pretty cool. I'm listening to some of their music and I really like the songs hysteria and butterflies and hurricanes. They put together some nice music and the guys voice isn't that bad for being British. Just kidding, I have no problem with British people, they just sometimes sound funny because of accents. Anyway, I have to agree that the song butterflies and hurricanes is really tight and the piano solo truly wows you. Good job finding this band and getting their name heard. Where did you hear of them? Let me know, your site rules.
Out of all your postings I think there was only one other band that I wasn’t sure that I have heard before. Most of them are all my favorites. Muse sounds like a band that I will have to check out. I was talking to one of my friends who live in Germany, and just asked him if he has heard of Muse, and apparently they are a pretty big thing in Europe! I will definitely check out some of the song suggestions and see what I think. I have to admit that sometimes I am not a big fan of British Rock, even though I love the Beatles.
