Frightened Rabbit – “Head Rolls Off”
This is just a very well put together song. I’m certain they have accents, but it’s the kind of accents that you can’t really tell they’re foreign until you hear them in an interview and you’re like, “Say what?!” But that has nothing to do with the song.

Mika – “Blame It On The Girls”
Very catchy song, but very unique. This guy is a little off-the-wall, but that’s what makes him fun.

Muse – “Undisclosed Desires”
FreshScouts featured the new Muse album The Resistance a few months back and this is the second single from the album. It’s a pretty sweet video too.

The Resistance is the most recent installment from this hard-hitting, melodic alt-rock power group and they are definitely living up to their name. The unique mix of beat-heavy rock with classical and traditional music overtones offers a sound that only Muse can produce and only Muse can pull off. This album is a little different than its predecessors in that it lends itself more to classical music, even going so far as to dedicate the final three tracks of the album to a rock symphony labeled “Exogenesis”. But don’t let this scare you off. This distinctive sound is what separates Muse from other rock bands. And “Bohemian Rhapsody” was supposed to be part of a musical. Mull that over and tell me it’s not ok to incorporate classical sounds into rock. Yeah, that’s what I thought.
It’s not too often you’re able to listen to an album over and over again and always find something new. The Resistance takes you on a musical roller coaster giving you a little bit of everything so you end up in a completely different place than where you started. And I wouldn’t want it any other way. Check out their single “Uprising” below. Oh, and did I mention explosions, fire and ridiculously angry teddy bears?
Are you digging Muse? Than you’ll love JET!
