Radiohead

Radiohead are an English rock band from Oxfordshire, initially formed in the mid-1980s under the name On a Friday. Their lineup has remained the same since their inception, with Thom Yorke (vocals/rhythm guitar/piano/electronics), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar/ondes martenot/keyboards), Ed O'Brien (guitar/backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass/synthesizers) and Phil Selway (drums/percussion).  Radiohead released their first single, "Creep" in 1992, followed by their debut album Pablo Honey (1993). The song was an unexpected worldwide hit, and the band were widely branded as a one-hit wonder.  However, Radiohead met with success at home in the United Kingdom with their second album, The Bends (1995), earning fans with dense guitar atmospheres and frontman Thom Yorke's falsetto singing.  Their third album propelled them to greater attention; popular for an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, OK Computer (1997) was named a landmark record of the 1990s by many critics.  With their polarising albums Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001), the band reached their peak  of global popularity even as their musical style changed, drawing on diverse sounds including experimental, jazz and electronic music.  Their latest album, Hail to the Thief (2003), mixed guitar-driven rock, electronic influences and topical lyrics, and was seen to blend styles from throughout the band's career.  They are currently without a label, and are working on their seventh studio album, expected for release sometime in 2007.  See Radiohead LIVE!  Purchase your Radiohead tickets today!
