The Downward Spiral

Showbiz

Muse fans pulled off the biggest upset of the revival rounds earlier today-- now will they be able to square up to one of Round 1's most recognized survivors?

More Showbiz Propaganda!

The three silly individuals below are in a band called Muse, that formed in 1994. Although they didn’t put their first album out until 1999, here’s why you should vote for them!

Out of all of their albums, Showbiz (1999) has a really strong appeal from its honesty. It’s definitely the most personal of all of Muse’s albums. I’ve heard it likened to wandering the most private recesses of someone else’s mind.

Unfortunately, it’s rare to a Showbiz song on a Muse setlist these days, with 9 albums under their belt they have a lot of material to cover. But when a song from Showbiz is played, you know it’s going to be a good time.

Check out this version of Showbiz from Reading 2017 if you don’t believe me.

How often do you hear fans losing their mind for an 18 year old song if it isn’t the band’s biggest hit? Showbiz is just that good of a song.

Muse later becomes well known for their hatred of lip syncing, which they solidify promoting this album as is joked about in an alternate video for Sunburn:

Anyways, please vote for these three crazy kids who had a lot of fun putting out their first album at the end of the millennium!

I’ll leave you with this photo of Matt (vocals/piano/guitar) sitting at the drum set.

Here’s your Showbiz (1999) propaganda!

Muse’s first album came out in the last year of the 90s and features a lot of thumping bass and cool guitarwork.

Matt started writing this album at 19! As this was their first full albums a few of the songs were written when he was even younger and they were still releasing EPs.

If you know Muse well, then you might be familiar with their headlining performance at Glastonbury 2004. The band considers it the best concert they ever performed, and it heavily features song from this album, including this fantastic performance of Sunburn:

And last of all, it contains the song I plan to use as my first dance if I ever get married.

you knew this was coming.... a whole new 2023 edition of Muse valentine's day!

I know nothing about making valentines

[littlebigmouse]

Objective and exhaustive assessment of the Muse discography:

1999-2003: a lot of room for interpretation, philosophical questions and existential crises

2006: Fantasy Space Opera. Also loneliness.

2009: Okay so we need some kind of Uprising, but Love is the answer and everything is fine as long as we have each other

2012: yo climate change is getting pretty bad can we like talk about that a minute

2016-2019: all that surveillance and extortion and war is kind of scary! BUT there is hope yet

2022: WE ARE FUCKING FUCKED

Royal Blood - "Boilermaker" from the Album "Typhoons"

[calling-all-comas]

Royal Blood Interview For The Rock & Folk French Music Magazine (Fan Translation) :

ROYAL BLOOD

A storm crashed on Brighton's duo, taking away the Led Zeppelin influenced heavy riffs and replacing them with a brand new sound. The heavy turned to groove.

All of our predictions were wrong. We never thought we would one day ask ourselves about the possibility to buy green beans at 18h55. However, in the music industry, it's the same thing, minus the green beans. Nowadays, bands try to do what they like, not keep their "signature" sound, which after a few years, can scare the fans away, and, even the band members themselves. That's Royal Blood's case, who comes back with "Typhoons", an album French Touch, made for the dancefloors, which, right now are our living rooms. There, the drinks are cheaper, but we loose the atmosphere... From Royal Blood to Daft Punk, it's something only the British can do.

Daft Piano

Rock & Folk : Isn't it a bit frustrating to release an album made for partying at a time where we can't party ?

Mike Kerr : Not really, I think you can pretty much party anywhere, anytime. You just need a strobe, and you're good to go !

Rock & Folk : This new album is clearly influenced by the french scene. No offense to John Lennon, but is France finally musically inspiring England ?

Mike Kerr : French music has always been part of our DNA. I have listened to a lot of that while growing up. The first instrument I picked up was the piano, and I learned how to play it by playing Daft Punk's songs. I couldn't stop playing them. Once, I even thought about starting a Daft Punk cover band ; "Daft Piano". Their music taught me so much as a musician. On this album, we thought it was time to "realease" these influences, to avoid censoring ourselves.

Rock & Folk : It might also be the wish to make something new, something different ?

Mike Kerr : Absolutely, we wanted to "renew" ourselves, we didn't want to make something that sounded like the first album. It would've been so boring. For us, and for the fans. This is how we came to make "Typhoons". When we started writing the first songs, we understood that we found something interesting. A true sound. I hate bands who make albums with one single that sounds different, and where all the other songs sound the same as what they usually do. Cowards !

Rock & Folk : Was it hard to mix the heavy sound from the old Royal Blood with the new sound, the "dance-ish" one ?

Mike Kerr : It wasn't easy. We had to find some kind of balance between making a "dance-ish" album, without falling into the funky trap. So we decided to keep the heavy riffs. They are just more "polished", and that's why you can dance while listening to it.

DAFT PUNK

Rock & Folk : Change your sound is something pretty risky. Were you anxious when the singles came out ?

Mike Kerr : Not a all. I kind of live with these songs. I listen to them everyday and I am still not tired of them. If someone doesn't like them, well, I'm okay with that. I didn't write these songs for them. You can't please everyone every time. Some will prefer the first album, some the second. I think there are people who will find out about us with "Typhoons", and will like it. Then, they will listen to "Out Of The Black", and they might hate it. That's why you should write songs for yourself, and not the public. You cannot live if your fans control you.

Rock & Folk : Releasing a Daft Punk influenced album right when they break up is kind of a smart move !

Mike Kerr : Yes.... Even though it wasn't only influenced by Daft Punk. It's not a Daft Punk album, no one can copy their genius. They're kind of "untouchable". Their break up made me sad, but at the same time, I respect them so much for making this decision when their career was at its peak. It gives it more impact. END
