Title: Radiohead The Bends
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1995, Rock, Alternative Rock, Oxford, England
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

1. Studio Lore: Made while the band was burned out from nonstop touring; sessions stretched as they tried to outgrow the one-hit framing.

2. Media Narrative: UK press pinned them as post-grunge opportunists after Creep, and this album was read as a public argument against that label.

3. Personal Struggle: Thom Yorke has described depression and panic during this erafame arriving faster than he could process it, then living on the road.

The Bends is the second studio album by Radiohead. In 1995, two years after an incredible debut in Pablo Honey, Radiohead were under tremendous pressure to deliver. Much to the delight of critics and fans the world over, they did more than deliver-they far exceeded expectations. – Building from the sweeping, three-guitar attack that punctuated the best movements of Pablo Honey, The Bends is grand and forceful; it resonates with anguish and despair. Although the influences-R.E.M., the Pixies, and U2-are still there, this is unmistakenly Radiohead maturing and defining their own sound.
