Radiohead
Radiohead is an alternative rock group from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Their name comes from the Talking Heads' song, Radio Head. Since their inception, the band has consisted of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Jonny Greenwood (guitar, electronics, Ondes Martenot), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greewood (bass, synths) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion).
Formed by school friends in 1986, Radiohead did not release their first single until 1992's "Drill EP". The cathartic Creep, from the debut album Pablo Honey (1993), became a worldwide hit as grunge music dominated radio airwaves. Radiohead were initially branded as a one-hit wonder abroad, but caught on at home in the United Kingdom with its second album, The Bends (1995), earning fans with their dense guitar atmospheres and front man Thom Yorke's expressive singing. The album featured the hits "High and Dry", "Just", and "Fake Plastic Trees". The band's third album, OK Computer (1997), propelled them to greater attention. Popular both for its expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, the album has been acclaimed by critics as a landmark record...

2009-01-05 7 Worlds Collide - Neil Finn and friends
Seven years ago, Neil Finn called on a very special group of musical friends. They came from all around the world and converged on Auckland, New Zealand. Over a short few days in 2001, they formed a band and rehearsed a lengthy set, taking it to the stage of Auckland’s St James Theatre for a series of five incredible shows under the banner Seven Worlds Collide. Some would call it a risky move, but the resulting shows were simply extraordinary. And really, you’d expect no less; the band memb...
2009-01-06 Helicopters
Transcending the guitar-based rock of their past, Helicopters have driven into the land of electronic pop and come out the other side quite interesting to categorize: too rock to be The Postal Service, too pop to be Beck, too modern to be 80fs, too happy to be Radiohead. Their debut album 'How to Fake Fall Asleep' is a masterpiece of lush pop, sonic experimentation, and catchy-as-hell melodies that defies comparison and demands attention.
