Placebo Chat To I Like Music

Formed in London in 1994, Placebo have now finished the recording of their sixth album Battle For The Sun. The band currently consists of Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Steve Forrest. With a back catalogue consisting of five studio albums, six EPs and twenty-seven singles they have gathered a strong fan base worldwide.

I Like Music caught up with Stefan Olsdal and new addition to the band Steve Forrest to chat about their sixth album, the difficulties they faced before Steve joined the band and the effect that digital media has had on both Placebo and the music industry as a whole.

"I Like Music because… it allows you to be everything you're not supposed to be." STEVE FORREST, PLACEBO

"I Like Music because… it makes my life worth living." STEFAN OLSDAL, PLACEBO

ILM: Where does Battle For The Sun sit in the Placebo journey so far?

Stefan: The record was completely self funded. Our contract ran out with EMI with Meds, the last record. We also recorded it in North America, the first time we've been outside of Europe to record a record. All these factors contributed to a sense of 'anything is possible' I think. We tend to make albums in a reaction to our previous record. So Meds, is not a bad album you know, but it's quite dark. It's very much about self medication really. It was the beginning of a band that was starting to have a disease. It was a band that was not healthy. Throughout the Meds recording sessions and the Meds tour it was the end of Placebo mark two.
