"Radiohead": Coming Up for Air by Steve Malins
In the summer of 1991 five students went home for the holidays. They formed a band, called it "Radiohead" after a "Talking Heads" song, and by December 1991 had been signed by EMI. That beginning was the first step in the band's musical odyssey. "Radiohead" now has a strong fan base, which identifies with the mix of uneasy calm and angst to be found in their songs. This book documents the rise to fame of Thom Yorke, the band's lead singer, and of Colin, Ed, Phil and Jonny.
