The Temper Trap


I just discovered this amazing band from Keli's blog. They are are damn good. Their debut album is called "conditions" it has been out this year. Check out this song, it's called "Sweet Dispositions".



MUSE

Muse-one of my favourite bands. Muse are an English trio hailing from the sleepy town of Teignmouth in Devon. The band consists of Matthew Bellamy (lead vocalist, lead guitarist, and pianist),Chris Wolstenholme (bass guitarist) and Dominic Howard (drummer).

I first saw them on a TV show called MCM cafe in 1999, I was mesmerized by the music. It was like nothing else I've ever heard before.
I was the happiest boy in the world when I got the CD, which I had to order from England as it was nowhere to be found in my country. I listened to it maybe 30 times in a row. My obsession with this band had begun and I made every single person I met listen to it but unfortunately they were not as enthusiast as me as they'd prefer the radio-friendly bands or the "demoniac" Marilyn Manson..LOL I could plug a moulinex with my amp, mix some meat and record an album..they'd have found it great.


Here's a vid of the first single..enjoy!!




It's been 11 years now and the discography has grown a bit:

- First EPs and Showbiz (1998)
- Origin of Symmetry (2001)
- Hullabaloo (2002)
- Absolution (2003)
- Black Holes and Revelations (2006)
- The Resistance (2009)














One of the most amazing things with this band is their live performances-here's a vid of a song from the 2nd album called Micro Cuts and this is a live performance @ Wembley Stadium which does not feature on the HAARP DVD
