Radiohead is a British group led by Thom Yorke from its appearance became the highest exponent in the world of alternative rock. Music creators since the end of the TWENTIETH century raised the foundations of what would be considered the sounds of the TWENTY-first century. Though all the world knows them as the band from Oxford, is actually originally from the town English Abingdom on the Thames, very close to the university town in which all of them were studying.
Consists of Thom Yorke ( vocals , guitar , piano ), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards , other instruments), Ed O’brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood ( bass , keyboards) and Phil Selway ( drums , percussion ).
Shortly before 1985, Thom Yorke and Colin Greenwood, made their first appearances with a group called TNT. It was in 1985 when Thom proposed the creation of a new band in the that were integrated, Jonny, Ed and Phil. Called On a Friday. Under this name they recorded their first EP which you can get the signature of Thom Yorke “The Drill EP’, that caught the attention of the music industry in London. It is the starting point of a career meteoric.
Tracked by Parlophone, change the name of the band to be called Radiohead and enter the circuitry of British live music. Success is total. The guys from Oxford to begin recording their first album, ‘Pablo Honey’, which includes a song that would be his passport to the top of the music world, ‘Creep’, a topic that Jonny wanted to ‘break up’ with a series of clicks, and explosions sound, that contrary to their claims, they charged rage and strength to the musical composition. With ‘Creep’, Radiohead gave back to the world and became the center of the looks of the ‘underground’ music international.
Critical and controversial bans of his songs on radio stations will make them to become part of the bands of worship and to ascend to Olympus alternative. The band opts for greasing the machine’s direct and tours non-stop. They came to consider as the British band with the highest number of direct per year.
A second EP ‘My Iron Lung’, and a second album, “The Bends” , considered by critics as the best album of the year, got a growing legion of loyal followers, who came to his greatest exponent with the output of the third album, OK Computer, in May 1997, an album that was presented to the international press in an impressive concert at sala Zeleste, Barcelona.

“One of the first things I bought were some boxing gloves”. “He used to try to teach me to box, but each time I beat her, I fell on my ass.” When I was 8 years old, his family moved to Oxford. At 10 years old he formed his first band and two years later he finished internship in a school for boys near Abingdon, where the consumed some of his most unhappy years. I had a few friends, often fought, and despite his training as a formative, usually losing boxing matches.
His social sorrows increased by an abnormality in his left eye, for which he was teased mercilessly, and since then has learned to accept. “When I was 18 I worked in a bar and this crazy wine, and said: you have beautiful eyes, but they are completely wrong. Sometimes, when I’m paranoid, I think only in what she said.”
After you leave, a punk band school (TNT) decided to form their own group. Connected with his classmate O’brien (because it seemed to Morrisey ) and Colin Greenwood (because he wore weird ) and went to some parties and shortly after completed the training with Selway, and the brother of Colin, Jonny.
