Muse : Cave

Living in Torquay, Muse probably had a great view of the eclipse. Then again, Museworld clearly exists in permanent semi-darkness anyway.

Probably the best new guitar band in Britain, Muse tear their bleeding hearts out and impale them on spiky angst-rock anthems like 'Cave'.


Opening with a blast of jerky new wave riffola,
'Cave' soon explodes into a rocket-blast roller-coaster chorus before expanding to fill the epic prog-punk dimensions of Matthew Bellamy's tormented soul. Possibly.


Living in Torquay, Muse probably had a great view of the eclipse. Then again, Museworld clearly exists in permanent semi-darkness anyway. Think about it. Pretty damn profound, right?
