Muse discuss U2 US tour, The Resistance + more
A few weeks back, just before Muse played two huge homecoming shows (discussed here) and released their hugely successful new album The Resistance (reviewed here), DiS had a chat with their drummer Dominic Howard. Seeing as you've now had time to get your teeth into the album, here's what he had to say about it... »

DiS vs. The Fans: Readers' reviews of new Muse album
Last month we gave two very, very lucky DiS readers and Muse fans the chance to win a pretty special prize - that of a place to the playback of their forthcoming long player The Resistance. Not only that but they'd also get their first thoughts of the new album published on this very website. Here they are!»
This Week's Singles: 07/09/2009
I went to a wedding this weekend to see one of my best boypals marry the love of his life. And it was one of the most heart-warming things I ever did see. So while it is unlikely that any record will be able to wipe the smile off my wetasaflannel, romantic face, one which has Nick Grimshaw as a supporter will have a flipping good try. »

Great Escape '09: Freshly Inked: The Temper Trap
In this special edition of Freshly Inked, DiS caught up with Korda Marshall, former Warner Brothers MD and the man who started Infectious Records, whose career has involved everyone from Muse to Sea Sick Steve via Symposium (one of your humble scribe's favourite bands), Ash, Take That, Garbage and The Enemy; to find out about his new signing The Temper Trap and to learn more about his new "music company."»
Mixtape #11: Gabriella Cilmi
Aussie teenager Gabriella Cilmi, fresh from playing Glastonbury, takes DiS through ten of her favourite songs, including the likes of Muse and MGMT»
The Weekly DiScussion: Is stadium rock back?
Remember when festivals were exciting? This excitement seems to have transfered to stadium rock. Is it back? DiS waffles on»
Taking breakfast with Razorlight's Andy Burrows
DiS has a breakfast date with Andy Burrows, but we're not talking Razorlight - the drummer has recorded a rather special charity record»
The Weekly DiScussion: Brits at the bookies, and our favourites
A week, just over, on and we’ve had time enough to let those Brit Award nominations sink in. Now we're wondering: who's actually going to win, and do we want them to? Here, the DiS office picks its ideal winners, and compares them to the favourites at the bookies. Snap? Rarely»
The Weekly DiScussion: festival fever's early stages
That’s them, lurking, cluttering the horizon line, destroying your credit limit: festivals, assembling line-ups to die for, and just as many to run a mile from. This summer’s one weekend of sunshine will have a pre-determined soundtrack, folks. DiScuss it here»
The Weekly DiScussion: just what is a 'DiS band'?
Do you think of The White Stripes, Battles, Radiohead etc as ‘DiS bands’, or has the site’s highlighting of a select group of smaller acts from time to time made them ‘ours’ in the place of major label alternatives»
A Review of 2006: DiS is what it's all about, yo
2006 has been a year that’s lived up to and exceeded all expectations. With enough fantastic albums to treble the length of my Albums of the Year list, and a gig list long enough to frighten even the hardiest tour manager, I’ve seen plenty of goodness this year. Luckily we’re on hand to jog those memories and help you reminisce about the good times and the couple of sad moments which brought us all back down to Earth with a big bump. This is 2006...»
The Weekly DiScussion: An Open Letter To Muse
So Muse have only gone and sold out Wembley Stadium, before the thing's even open! Now they've added a second show for June 2007. Shitting crikey! Congratulations... now, can we suggest some support acts...»
DiS is 6! Our 66, part 2
So here we are, fellow travellers through the last six years of DiS’s favourite sounds: part two of Our 66. Believe you me, this section – which collects together the albums we’ve placed at numbers 44 to 21 – was no easier to assemble than the preceding chapter (click here if you’re yet to look over our selections from 66 to 45). In fact, we’ve suffered more headaches over the last few weeks, because of this undertaking alone, than at any other time in our lives. Perhaps, anyway: we do enjoy the odd pint...»
The Nationwide Music Prize is tomorrow! DiS gets Isobel Campbell's thoughts on her chances...
Tomorrow brings with it not only cloudier skies and cooler weather than we’ve been used to these past few weeks, but also the announcement of the winner of this year’s Nationwide Mercury Prize. You know: voted for by a panel of industry specialists (although we’ve not been invited to provide an opinion – what’s that about?), comes with a fat cheque and a skip-load of recognition, and was won by an American last year. Or, rather, an Englishman that’d not lived in England for many a year. Oooh, taste the controversy...»

A Month In Records: July 2006
As July slides away into memory’s mists, one can’t help but feel that summer – so swiftly and brutally upon us though it was – is slipping through our fingers with all the fluidity of the Coke Zero that DiS has taken to consuming by the tanker-load. Really, why is it that Diet Coke by another name is so appealing? Is it because a guy advertises the stuff on the telly, or are black cans simply that cool? Answers on a postcard to some other address than ours – we really don’t have the time to read your nonsensical musings on the matter.»
The Tuesday DiScussion: Are Muse the most important band of our generation?
As the start of a regular new feature, DiS provokes debate on Muse. National treasure, or overblown theatre-merchants?»
Union Jacked Geetars: Reloaded
Are we experiencing a renaissance? Are british guitar bands finally back on top? Is this the start of a fight back against America? Whatever. Here's 7 british guitar records '03 which you should seek out from Muse, Coopers, Funeral for a Friend, Biffy Clyro, Sikth, Oceansize and the pop band of 2003...»
Raz on The Raz @ Reading
Yeah, yeah yeah, Reading Festival. What’s the big deal, huh? Get filthy. Get tired. Get battered. Sing. Watch some bands. Great. It bloody well is, alright!?! Did you love it? Were you even there? I was.

Brits: let's kill the competition!!
Although the Brit Awards are quite laughable for who gets which awards and how the verdict of the so-called BIG awards, are tarnished with big corporate brushes. But, there is a best new band category and in my mind, there is only one band deserved of the award, for best new indie band (I won't go into the debas»
