Radiohead

Electronic and alternative rock band from Oxfordshire, England, formed by school friends in 1985. The band takes its name from the Talking Heads song "Radio Head."

Radiohead released their first single in 1992, followed by their debut album "Pablo Honey" (1993), which featured the global hit "Creep." Though initially dismissed as a one-hit wonder abroad, they established themselves in the UK with their second album "The Bends" (1995), showcasing dense guitar atmospheres and the distinctive vocals of frontman Thom Yorke. The album included hits like "High & Dry" and "Fake Plastic Trees."

The band achieved critical and commercial prominence with their third album "OK Computer" (1997), widely regarded as a landmark record of the 1990s exploring themes of modern alienation. "Kid A" (2000) marked a significant evolution, incorporating experimental electronic influences. "Hail To The Thief" (2003) represented a return to guitar and piano-led rock, while "In Rainbows" (2007) was famously released through an innovative pay-what-you-want model. Their most recent album, "A Moon Shaped Pool," arrived in 2016.

Radiohead's sound draws from alternative rock and post-punk influences including Pixies, Magazine, Joy Division, Siouxsie & The Banshees, and R.E.M.. The core lineup features Thom Yorke on vocals and keyboards, Colin Greenwood on bass, Ed O'Brien on guitar, Jonny Greenwood on guitar and keyboards, and Philip Selway on drums.
