biography

Muse's fusion of progressive rock, glam, electronica, and Radiohead-influenced experimentation is crafted by guitarist/vocalist Matthew Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenholme, and drummer Dominic Howard. Bored by the sleepy life provided by their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon, the three British friends began playing music together. They started the first incarnation of their band while only 13 years old, changing the name of the group from Gothic Plague to Fixed Penalty to Rocket Baby Dolls as time passed. By 1997, the bandmates 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, passionate sound and live presence drew critical acclaim and industry buzz, and Muse signed a deal with Maverick Records after a trip to New York's CMJ festival. The singles "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," which helped propel the album to platinum status in the U.K.

In 2002, fans were treated to Hullabaloo Soundtrack, a combination rarities/live set that peaked at number ten in Europe. Muse then returned with a proper studio effort, Absolution, which became the band's first album to chart in America. A short North American tour in the spring of 2004 coincided with Muse's spot on the fifth annual Coachella Music and Arts Festival, and Absolution eventually went gold in the U.S. Back at home, the album earned Muse their second platinum certification. Released two years later, Black Holes and Revelations marked the band's brightest, most dynamic set of material to date, topping the U.K. album chart within its first week and earning Muse their second consecutive number one album at home. In America, Black Holes and Revelations broke into the Top Ten.

Muse toured Europe, America, Australia, and Southeast Asia in support of the album, and their dynamic stage performance (which won the band multiple awards for Best Live Act, including accolades from the NME Awards, the Q Awards, and the Vodafone Live Music Awards) was captured on 2008's H.A.A.R.P. Live from Wembley. The trio spent the remainder of that year -- as well as the early part of 2009 -- in the recording studio, eventually emerging with the release of The Resistance in September. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

  • Ah... Sweet Melodies...

    Muse... What can I say? These guys are and have always been one of my ABSOLUTE favorite artists! With each new release, they continually bust through both the barriers of expectation as well as progression. MUSE FOREVER! p.s. can't wait for their next release!

  • Best band ever

    By Fierce Michi5/18/2010 02:47:42

    Muse is an astonishing band; my personal favorite! Every single song they have done, from studio recordings to live performances, are very well done. I could listen to their songs over & over--never gets old. Check them out if you have not--you are definitely missing out! Also, Matt, Dom, & Chris are very  ravishing! ♥

  • The Resistance

    By jmandrums12/31/2009 03:04:20

    Muse has a tendency to exceed expectations,  but not always in the same way. The Resistance might be a little weird at first for a Muse listener that has been listening since the Showbiz days, but the closing tracks and the sheer musicality of the rest of the songs on this record set this band apart from the rest in the world. They didn't rush into getting their 5th record onto the shelves, and I'm glad they didn't. The only thing bad I have to say is that when they made the soundtrack for Twilight, I got pissed off when I saw their songs on there. They are way better than a lousy vampire-romance book saga. They need to get on movies that win Oscars, not Teen Choice Awards.
