Spotlight - by Mutemath

I haven't listened to them enough lately.  That changes tonight!  :P

Mutemath is from New Orleans, LA.  They started in 2003, and have taken off to the stars from there.  Consisting of Paul Meany (vocals, keys), Darren King (drums, sampling), Greg Hill (guitar), and Roy Mitchell-Cardenas (bass, percussion).  Meany, King, and Cardenas all were previously from Earthsuit, but after they broke up, they started the new project with Hill, & they released their "Reset EP" Sept. 28th, 2004.  Next came their self-titled debut album featuring the hit "Typical" (yes, the one with them playing the whole song backwards in the music video); & then their 2nd LP "Armistice" (& they've had a live DVD, an EP between & then another live DVD after that...).  They've had songs placed in/with the movies Twilight ("Spotlight was the one that was featured…), Transformers, Never Back Down, The Rocker, and more; and have appeared on the Tonight Show w/ Leno, Late Show w/ David Letterman, Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien, and more late show hosts.  They are currently working on their third album.  This song is from their album "Armistice", released Aug. 18th, 2009.
