[[Placebo]] are an [[Alternative Rock]] band formed in London in 1994, currently made up of Brian Molko on guitar/vocals, Stefan Olsdal on bass and Steve Forrest (replacing the recently departed Steven Hewitt) on drums. Molko remarked on one occasion that the name of the band was, as opposed to its English meaning, a Latin word for "I will please."
Brian and Stefan originally had Robert Schultzberg (an old school friend of Stefan's) behind the kit, but after recording the self-titled debut with him, the disagreements soon became so intense that (after some false starts) they soon cut ties with him and settled on Steven Hewitt. With him, they recorded perhaps their most famous album, Without You I'm Nothing. The album contained their breakthrough single in America, "Pure Morning."
Line 7:
Their style began as a glam-influenced alternative rock style full of raw guitar riffs, but as time went on, they began to experiment more with synthesizers and new instruments. To this day, however, they still gain much of their notoriety from the androgynous appearance of Molko. Steve Forrest replaced Hewitt after the tour for Meds completed.
