With a storied ten-year history, the darkly romantic and musically adventurous Placebo has grown into one of the biggest and best international rock bands on the globe influencing such young bands as My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco, AFI and Aiden. They have ollaborated with David Bowie, Michael Stipe, Robert Smith, and Frank lack and headlined festivals all over Europe, South East Asia, and South America. Their most recent album, Meds, is described by the band as a back-to-basics project with the elemental feeling of a first album.
To coincide with Placebo's appearance on the eagerly-anticipated Projekt Revolution tour, PLACEBO is releasing Extended Play '07 in the U.S., out July 31, 2007. This EP will serve as an introduction to the genius of PLACEBO for new fans discovering the band this summer.
