MTV has an article up giving you a guide to the artists on the New Moon Soundtrack. If you are like me you may not know many of the artists. The truth is I’ve only heard of Muse and The Killers, but truth is couldn’t tell you a song either of them sing except Muse’s song on the Twilight soundtrack.

The truth is I didn’t like the Death Cab for Cutie song so I’m hoping some of the others are better.

You can read the article at MTV to learn more about the bands on the soundtrack.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

Band of Skulls (“Friends”): This White Stripes-by-way-of-Radiohead English trio formed in 2008 and released the blues-rocking Baby Darling Doll Face Honey in March. They played at this summer’s Lollapalooza festival and feature the alternating vocals of bassist Emma Richardson and guitarist Russell Mardsen.

Lykke Li (“Possibility”): Another veteran of Lollapalooza 2009, the Swedish answer to Lady Gaga has gained a legion of fans (among them MTV’s own Kurt Loder) for the intensely rhythmic and hypnotic dance music on her debut, Youth Novels.

Anya Marina (“Satellite Heart”): The San Diego-based singer/songwriter, sometime actress (“100 Girls”) and radio DJ released her second album of playfully sexy pop tunes, Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II in January. Her songs have been featured “The Real World,” “Gossip Girl,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “How I Met Your Mother”
