Placebo – The Artist/s

Placebo are a British alternative rock band, formed in London in 1994 by vocalist-guitarist Brian Molko and bassist-guitarist Stefan Olsdal, who have remained the two constant members, albeit with three full-time drummers throughout the band’s existence. Molko and Olsdal were joined by drummer Robert Schultzberg for a demo, a split single, and their eponymous debut album in 1996. Shortly after the album’s release, Steve Hewitt replaced Schultzberg on drums. Placebo gained exposure in 1997 after the single “Nancy Boy” (a song notorious at the time for its gender-bending content) became popular in the UK. The band stood out amongst the Britpop scene of the time because of their androgynous appearance and musical content, as well as Molko’s distinctive voice and lyrics which openly discussed sexuality, mental health, and drug use. 

The Bitter End- The Song

“The Bitter End” is a song by British alternative rock band Placebo. It was released as the lead single from their fourth studio album, Sleeping with Ghosts (2003), on 10 March 2003. “The Bitter End” and “Every You Every Me” are the two most often played songs in the Placebo’s live shows. The music video sees the band playing in the dish of the Lovell Telescope, one of the largest radio telescopes. Halfway through the video, it displays an infrared image of a couple chasing after each other. They eventually catch each other up and kiss against a wall. Near the end of the video, the band is rained upon. It was filmed close to Stockport in Cheshire, Englan
