1. An English band formed in Teignmouth,
Devon, U.K. The Band consists of three permanent members: lead
drummer and percussionist Dominic Howard; bassist and rhythm guitarist Christopher Wolstenholme; and guitarist, keyboardist, keytarist, and lead vocalist Matthew Bellamy. The band is occasionally joined by additional traveling/backup musicians. Since their inception in 1994, they have completed
six studio albums and three live albums. Known for their
unique, psychedelic style of superimposing multiple sublevels of different types of sounds and vocals into a
single track, their music ranges from spacey electronic rock to serious, symphonic, string-influenced sounds. Their latest album, titled The 2nd
Law, is the band's closest step towards
dubstep music (dubbed musestep), though it still retains a healthy mixture of classic Muse-only sounds and intuitive, deep space rock.
2. A rock band that has gathered its global following because of its captivating, underground-subgenre-fused-with-rock style. The English band can be described as a fusion of many genres, a Neo-Progressive Dub-Influenced Alternative Indie Electronica Space Cowboy Rock band.
