The Resume

    (1994- )
    Based in London, England
    Brian Molko (vocals, guitar)
    Stefan Olsdal (bass)
    Steve Hewitt (drums)
    Recorded 'Nancy Boy,' 'Bruise Pristine,' 'Pure Morning,' 'You Don't Care About Us,' 'Every You Every Me,' 'Taste in Men,' 'Special K' and 'The Bitter End'

Why they might be annoying:

    They're melodramatic.
    They've been described as a glam rock Nirvana.
    They're extremely androgynous; Brian's frequently confused for a woman.
    Brian's known for wearing makeup.
    Steve and Brian lost their virginity at 13 and 14 years old.
    They've all done a few drugs in their time.
    At the end of the hidden track on the album 'Without You I'm Nothing' the band added a threatening message left on Brian's answering machine, which is extremely disturbing.
    Ronan Keating from British boy band Boyzone went up to Brian and said he loved Placebo's new single. Brian just said 'Afraid I can't say the same for yours' and walked away.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They're open about their sexuality - Brian is bisexual, Stefan is gay and Steve is straight (though he has experimented).
    They are beloved by goths and the gay community (although their fan base is limited to that).
    Brian said: 'I live by my own rules. I guess people find it difficult to put me in a box, therefore I must be a wanker.'
    He also said: 'I don't think lust is a sin - people should have sex as much and in as many situations as possible. Then they'd be less uptight.'
    The song 'My Sweet Prince' is about when one of Brian's ex-girlfriends tried to kill herself after he split up with her; the song also deals with heroin addiction.
