I'm sure most people have heard of Chat Roulette at this point. If you haven't its a website that video connects you to random strangers, most are violently sexually assaulting themselves, however once in a while you meet someone pretty cool. I went out to find new music for my radio show and asked people on Chat Roulette what their favorite song was, looking up the songs one by one to see if my interests fell in line with others.
One such band I came across was Placebo. They are an Alternitive Rock band from London. As with most bands from London at the time (1994), they gave off the sound of bands like Oasis and The Smiths (two of the most popular Alt Rock/Indie Rock bands in the country at the time).
Up until that day on Chat Roulette I had not heard of Placebo from a girl in Minnesota, and I'm really glad I stumbled upon them. They do differentiate themselves somewhat from the rest of the Brit Rock scene but they do have the slightest tendency to sound generic at times.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy these guys, I know they have become kind of an integral part of my music library.
