Hail To The Kings: Radiohead Are Back

Oxford's finest return with 'The King Of Limbs'...

 

  • Radiohead’s members first met at the boys-only public school Abingdon, Oxfordshire in the mid-1980s. Thom Yorke and Colin Greenwood were both in the same year, while Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway were one year older and Jonny Greenwood was two years below his brother.

Four years on from the game-changing release of ‘In Rainbows’, Radiohead are back with new album ‘The King Of Limbs’.

Dubbed as the world’s first “newspaper album”, the record looks set to transform the industry again following its release online today (February 18).

To celebrate it’s arrival, Gigwise has put together a round-up of the facts you maybe didn’t know about the Oxford five-piece, from their inception in the mid-80s as a group called On A Friday to the story behind their artwork.

Stay tuned to Gigwise for all the latest coverage for ‘The King Of Limbs’ - and don’t forget to let us know your thoughts about the album when your download arrives.
