It's been almost 20 years since Muse formed back in 1994, but Matt Bellamy still remembers the band's first big break.

In an interview with Radio.com, Bellamy described hearing BBC radio DJ Steve Lamacq playing their song 'Muscle Museum' for the first time.

"I was about 18 or 19" Bellamy recalled. "I was in London with my girlfriend at the time. I was staying in her sort of like squat flat with a bunch of flatmates. The radio was there, and a song called 'Muscle Museum' came on and I was like, 'Yeah man, it's happening' - it was good!"

The singer also discussed the band's new material, saying: "We're going to veer back towards musicianship again and focusing on our own instruments. It's going to be a bit of a rawer album, and definitely a bit more rock, I'd say."

Don't get too excited though, the new album probably won't be ready until 2015. Speaking to Australian radio station Triple J, Bellamy revealed work has already begun on the record, and that fans could see the first single this time next year.

"I've written some good tracks, actually," he said. "We haven't had a chance to rehearse them out yet. We'll take a break next year for a little few months and then we'll get in the studio. If it all goes very well, the new album could well be early 2015 or late 2015. Christmas 2014 might be [when we release] our next single."
