Placebo Discuss ‘Battle For The Sun’
The Kerrang! Podcast team caught up with Placebo, who talked about their new album ‘Battle For The Sun’ and introduced viewers to their new drummer Steve Forrest. “The album is a little more upbeat for a couple of reasons,” singer Brian Molko explained. “First of all looking back on ‘Meds’, Stef and I felt it was quite a seminal record. Very dark and quite claustrophobic, and that there wasn’t a great deal of hope, so we kind of wanted to do something that had a little more color to it, a little bit more optimism perhaps. ‘Battle For The Sun’ is also the sound of a band rediscovering itself and relishing the opportunity to be creatively unselfconscious again.” Watch the interview below.
