Paranoid Fan-Droid: Why I Stan Radiohead
Radiohead, Radiohead, Radiohead. Where to begin? Formed in 1985 in Oxfordshire, the band have been a cultural mainstay since their 1992 grunge anthem, ‘Creep’. With a career spanning nine Grammy-winning albums, three headlining Glastonbury performances, and no less than six ground-breaking commercial, cinematic and technological innovations in the music industry, they’re easily one of the […]
Retrospective: Radiohead – In Rainbows
My first proper introduction to In Rainbows and in fact Radiohead was, as disappointingly as I care to admit, whilst watching the first instalment to the disaster that people now refer to as ‘Twishite’.

Let me tell you how it happened. This morning I was awoken by a knock on my door. Groggy-eyed, I opened it to reveal enigmatic Radiohead […]
Track Review: Radiohead – Spectre
Fans have been eagerly awaiting new material from Radiohead for about four years now. After their last full studio release in 2011, The King of Limbs, we’ve only been teased by a few small releases – namely, Thom Yorke solo albums as well as a track appearing as part of Jonny Greenwood’s score to the […]
