Muse are an English rock band with an array of trophies and awards to vouch for their succession. They are from Devon and were formed in 1994. The band members are school friends :') :
Matthew Bellamy (lead vocals, lead guitar, keyboard/piano)
Christopher Wolstenholme (bass, vocals, rhythm guitar)
Dominic Howard (drums, percussion, sampling)
Muse are mainly known for their 'best live band in the universe' (Unofficial North-American MUSE Appreciation Blog) performances, bursting with their contagious energy and their unconventional mix of music genres: these include alternative rock, heavy metal, electronica and classical music.
They have released five studio albums in their career so far:
Showbiz (released in 1999)
Origins of Symmetry (released in 2001)
Absolution (released in 2003)
Black Holes and Revelations (released in 2006)
The Resistance (released in 2009)
A sixth studio album is currently in the process of being recorded and is expected to be released in October 2012.
They have also successfully won awards for their music; 'Black Holes and Revelations' earned them a nomination for the Mercury Prize (as one of the highly acclaimed albums of the year) as well as coming third place in the 'NME Albums of the Year' list in 2006. Muse have also won five 'MTV Europe Music Awards', five 'Q Awards', four 'Kerrang! Awards' and an 'American Music Award'! - that's pretty amazing!
As well as all of these awards, the album, 'The Resistance' led Muse to nominations of three Grammy Awards where they won 'Best Rock Album'.
