If there was going to be one indie mob from the 905 that anyone would have bet on drifting quietly into obscurity it
was Placebo. Amazingly enough, new album Meds has gone down extremely well and they’re popping up high on the bill of every festival they can find. Maybe all those Muse fans, impatiently waiting for the next outpouring from Lord Matt of Bellamy, have realised who else - apart from Queen and Rush, obviously - he was nicking all his ideas from and
bought Placebo records instead.
