Early Muse demo surfaces

Of all the music that's been released this week, the most intriguing has to be, by far, an early set of Muse demos. These nuggets of gold were recorded in 1996/1997 at Newton Abbey, and showcase their early grunge-like roots and Matt's hysterical iffy vocals. There are some never before heard Muse songs like Falling With The Crowd and Boredom, an early version of Showbiz album track Sober and some b-sides from the Showbiz-era like Ashamed and Jimmy Kane. There's no way that any of this material would give clues as to the Muse that currently are a monstrous force to be reckoned with in 2008, but, if you're a big fan, this is worth a listen purely for the fact that this is the earliest original recordings of the Teignmouth trio available.

The demos are available to download from Muse fansite, Muse Live.

DIGG IT!
