Placebo

Placebo is a Brit-pop band that frequented the charts during the 2000s with its hook-filled glam and punk style, plus theatrical frontman Brian Molko.

Following the release of a demo, a split single, and their eponymous debut album, Placebo gained exposure in 1997 after the single "Nancy Boy" became popular in the UK, a song notorious at the time for its gender-bending content. The band's third album, Black Market Music, released in 2000, further experimented with genres outside of familiar rock sound. Placebo released their fifth studio album, Meds in 2006. Marking twenty years since the release of their debut album, Placebo announced in June 2015 the re-release of their first five albums on 12" coloured vinyl. In September 2020, Dave McLean, one of Placebo's managers at RIVERMAN, tweeted their 8th studio album would be released in early 2021.
