Radiohead are a UK band but they have branched out to the US as well. They formed in 1985, they were formed in Abingndon, Oxfordshire. Their music is a mixture of  Rock and Electronica elements, their music is out of the norm which makes their music special and entertaining. They formed as a school band at Abingdon School. They made their first E.P (Drill) in May 1992 and it was limited to 3000 copies and made 101 in the charts. They later released the song Creep but it became blacklisted on BBC Radio 1 for being too depressing. They are signed by XL recordings. They are presented very dark in their photos and videos as seen in their photo above and also their song burn the witch. They turned a classic children's program into a horror film. They are a punk/rock/indie band which justifies why they are quite dark characters and their lyrics are also quite depressing in most of their songs like creep which was blacklisted because it was too depressing.

Burn the witch - Burn the witch was nominated for and was voted  Grammy Award for Best Rock Song, NME Award for Best Music Video. It used the classic look of trumpton which is a late 60's children's program. It was usually on in the morning before school so that the adult shows could run through out the day because there was only 3 channels on TV at that time. They then added the Radiohead element of the wicker man. This was a film in 1973 and was famous horror film which consisted of a police officer moving over to a small island to find a missing person but ends up being a sacrifice to the Pagan Gods.
