Radiohead - Burn the Witch: Research
- How long have they been together? They formed in 1985, so have been together for 32 years. This is why they have been such a huge success, as their fans have been loyal to them, and their fan base has grown a lot since the band first formed.
- How would you categorise their music? On Wikipedia they are classed as:
Genres - Art rock,
- alternative rock,
- progressive rock,
- electronica
- experimental rock
- How are they represented in their promotional material (videos, photos etc)?
There are a lot of photos of them of when they were younger, but also of the band when now which shows how they have been around for a long time, so could be considered a classic band. The band obviously has a cult following so fans are loyal to them, but also music magazines like to write articles about Radiohead which are usually very complimentary. However, all their photos seem to be in black and white, as if they are trying to portray their dark sense of style which comes through in their music videos, in a more subtle way. They would probably do this as their appearance itself is not as harrowing as you would have expected from watching their music videos.
The band signed to EMI in 1991 and then released their debut single "Creep" in 1992. This became a worldwide hit following the release of their debut album "Pablo Honey" in 1993. The bands second album gained them popularity and their third "OK Computer", which was released in 1997, took them to international fame. This third album is often named as a landmark record of the 1990s and as one of the best albums in popular music.
