I LIKE MUSE

Muse, the alternative British rock band out of Devon, England has been a major force in changing the tunes of alternative that we used to listen for years. Muse' music is fun, energetic and always filled their live performance with visually stunning and highly tempo performances. Although they promotes a vibrant sound of alternative rock, but they also infuse a techno jingle and emotion episodic touch into their musics.

PERSONNEL

They comprised of:

Matthew Bellamy (vocal, guitar, piano)
