The band Muse has been huge worldwide, and especially in the UK, for several years, but have had some difficulty breaking into the American music scene.  Well, it seems Twilight has helped them out a bit on that front, and they know it!  Here is what they had to say about it.

Muse believe their appearance on the soundtrack to The Twilight Saga films has helped them win fans in America.

The band have contributed songs to the opening two films in the popular vampire franchise, including the recent hit New Moon.

Speaking to Asia One, bassist Chris Wolstenholme said the group were originally unaware about The Twilight Saga’s cult following.

“I was vaguely aware of the books (before author Stephenie Meyer approached us) but we didn’t think anything of it at the time,” he said.

“The next thing you know, it’s Twilight fever. It’s good because it has made a difference for us in trying to break into America.”
