Radiohead Within the Forest Dark

The British musical group Radiohead is one of the most brilliant and relevant bands of the last three decades. Formed in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, in 1985, the group, consisting of Thom Yorke, brothers Jonny and Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, and Philip Selway, are not just remarkable songwriters, but also important cultural observers. When singer and frontman Yorke was on the Steven Colbert Show in 2019, Colbert asked him this: “For decades, you’ve been writing music that is uneasy and anxious with regards to society, our government, technology, the general direction of the world. How does it feel to be right?”
