Muse drummer Dominic Howard has said that the way Radiohead released their latest album shows how record companies are “becoming more and more useless.”

Radiohead allowed fans to name what price they wanted to pay for, ‘In Rainbows,’ which has gone on to outsell all their previous albums through its digital sales.

“They’re (Radiohead) unsigned which means they are in a different position to us, so they can do whatever the hell they want it’s cool they did,” Howard said.

“Bands are constantly thinking of the best ways to release music and a band like that doing it on their own shakes up the record companies and helps them realise that they are gradually becoming more and more useless,” he told the Mirror.

“It’s a great time for music and a great time for bands, but not for the record companies.”

‘In Rainbows’ will go on general sale for the first time from December 31st.
