Muse - Uprising [Official Video]

Watch the official music video for “Uprising” by Muse, the lead single from their landmark 2009 album The Resistance. One of the band’s most recognizable songs, “Uprising” explores themes of anti-establishment sentiment, media manipulation, and standing up against control. Featuring Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard, the song helped define a new era for Muse. Its iconic music video, directed by Humble TV, features a surreal miniature cityscape invaded by a uprising of teddy bears, winning the 2010 MTV Video Music Award for Best Special Effects and bringing the song’s rebellion and dystopian energy to life. Released as a single in 2009, “Uprising” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart and remained there for 17 consecutive weeks. The song remains one of Muse’s signature recordings, alongside alternative rock classics like “Supermassive Black Hole,” “Knights of Cydonia,” “Time Is Running Out,” “Starlight,” and “Plug In Baby.” The Resistance album earned Muse their first Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and became one of the most successful releases of the band’s career. Featuring hits like “Resistance,” “Undisclosed Desires,” and the three-part “Exogenesis: Symphony,” the album helped solidify Muse’s stadium-filling, symphonic synth-rock sound at the turn of the decade.
