Muse

The Devon, England trio Muse (PRS) has long been a force in their native country, but finally made their mark in the U.S. this past year. Their third album, Absolution, was their second to be released in the U.S. and it brought them a greater fan base, helped by their inclusion on The Cure's Curiosa Tour of America. They start the new year off by headlining mtvU's 2005 Campus Invasion Tour. —EP
