Radiohead has been relatively quiet since wrapping up their 2010 Spring tour throughout the U.S. in continued support of 2007’s In Rainbows. However, the band’s members are keeping busy in one way or another.
With frontman Thom York creating a new band (Atoms For Peace) earlier this year and Johnny Greenwood creating compositions for BBC, it’s only natural that drummer Philip Selway begins his own solo career.
Selway’s first solo album, Familial, is scheduled to debut in the U.S. on Aug. 31. The album features collaborations with Soul Coughing’s Sebastian Steinberg, Lisa Germano, Patrick Sansone, and Wilco’s Glenn Kotche.

The follow up to Radiohead’s 2007 “In Rainbows” is suspected to be released this year. In an interview with BBC 6 Music, guitarist Ed O’Brien discloses that the band is in the studio as we speak.
He reveals, ” We’re in the heart of the record… I’m really excited, I feel like this is the best record we ever made. It really is genuinely exciting. It’s very different from what we did last time.” (Read More…)

Thom Yorke delivered a new song at Radiohead’s benefit show for Haiti in January at The Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. The stripped down, hauntingly beautiful “Lotus Flower” was just the man and his guitar. Simple and powerful.
In addition to raising money for Haitian earthquake relief, Yorke and company raised fans’ hopes that a new release could soon be on the horizon. Hopes for Radiohead tickets would quickly follow.

Radiohead fans rejoice! There is serious speculation that Radiohead will issue a new digital EP as early as Monday, August 20th, as a track was leaked online over the weekend.
“These Are My Twisted Words” was posted on the message board of At Ease, a fan site. The source file includes “Wall of Ice,” which is assumed to be the name of the new EP.
The band has said in the past that they traditionally like to put 10 or 11 songs together, but it doesn’t feel as natural as it used to, so they might do smaller EPs with four or five songs.
They are no strangers to innovative music release methods – in 2007, they released “In Rainbows” digitally on a pay-what-you-want basis.

Radiohead is taking the summer off from touring to head back to the studio and start work on their eighth album.
Ideas are brewing and instruments are bubbling as the band decides what’s to come next creatively and otherwise after their last pioneering efforts on In Rainbows. What will remain the same, however, is their choice to continuing working with producer Nigel Godrich, who’s been with the band since 1997’s OK Computer.
Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood told BBC News in a recent interview, “We’re at the stage where we’ve got the big Lego box out and we’ve tipped it out on the floor and we’re looking at all the bits and thinking, what next?”

Radiohead is one of several musical artists who made the “Top 100 Agents of Change” list that appears in the April 2nd issue of Rolling Stone magazine. Other music industry honorees include Bono, Neil Young, producer Danger Mouse, Lil Wayne, Arcade Fire and Jack White of the White Stripes.
The band is given props for bucking the music industry system by continuing to do their own thing and making their own rules as they go. Most notably and recently, they let fans name their own price for downloads of their 2007 release, In Rainbows.
Radiohead may not be the most profitable band around, but they are one of the most influential, known to every college kid coast-to-coast. Not many bands can say that.
