Radiohead’s Ok Computer album turns twenty five

23 May 2022

Last Saturday, 21 May 2022, marked twenty five years since British band Radiohead released their third studio album Ok Computer, in 1997. To mark the occasion Ed O’Brien, the group’s guitarist, took to Instagram to share insights into the way the band thought and worked.

Wow… feels like an age away.. 1997 belonged to a different era .. we were just kids.. with unswerving focus and drive .. no partying just the desire to make better and better work.. it was fucking exciting .. people seemed to get what we were doing and the gigs were getting more powerful.

“1997 belonged to a different era”… I copy that.

If You Say The Word, Radiohead

25 September 2021

If you feel you’re trapped in a dead-end office job, then maybe English rock band Radiohead’s latest offering, If You Say The Word won’t be for you. On the other hand, this is Radiohead, how could you not like If You Say The Word?

Even though the track premiered yesterday, Friday 24 September, it’d been sitting – in one form or another – in the recording studio for near on two decades. The single is included on Kid Amnesiae, which is a re-issue of Radiohead’s 2000 album, Kid A, and Amnesiac, a year later.
