Placebo Who???

The rock band Placebo formed in 1994 in london.
The three band members consisting of Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Steve forrest.
One of the most popular rock bands today, selling over one million albums in the u.k and over ten million across the world.
They are well know not just for there songs but there outragous image that reflects in their lyrics. Alot of hype has came about for their sexuality
Stefan Olsdal is homosexual and Brian Molko is bisexual.

Hit songs

Nancy boy
pure morning
you don't care about us
every you, every me
bitter end
twenty years
black-eyed
because i want you
infra-red
meds
running up that hill (cover of kate bush song)

Battle for the sun

8th june 2009, the album battle of the sun was released feauturing the bands new drummer steve forrest.
Recorded in Toronto, Canada by producer David Bottrill.
A melody combined of a mixture of instruments gives a gothic touch to the song.

My Voice

Not a great fan of rock music so i guess i'm not a particularly great reviewer but i think this was a let down to their beloved fans.
I think the sounds come across to over powering and strong,
Listening to the lyrics, the poorley written words read
'you don't know how you're coming across/you act like you don't give a toss'
I don't recomend you wasting your time or money on this one

good luck
