It is increasingly believed in case a band member embarks on a solo career, sooner or later the band is finished, no matter how large their success is. As a prove Beatles, Take That, Spice Girls and others.
Any rule, albeit, has an exception, and English rock band from Radiohead is the one to confirm the statement's validity. Radiohead's frontman TomYorke's solo album, The Eraser, released July 10, 2006 on XL Records in the UK sparked rumors Radiohead are experiencing difficulties and are likely to split up.
The more time flies, the more glory and praise Radiohead receives. Thom Yorke, personally, finds the success obscure and confusing and fails to explain reasons, propelling attention to their experimental music of alternative rock, art rock and electronics.
In his latest interviews the Radiohead leader declares special ties to secure their unity. Radiohead members, including Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Phil Selway and Colin Greenwood are dearest friends and often support each other's initial ideas. They began practicing in the school's music room as teenagers and never parted since then.
The debut album The Eraser received absolute support of Radiohead members and they all agreed Thom Yorke ought to work toward the project of his own. Radiohead members have joined their leader to perform two songs live from The Eraser, Cymbal Rush and The Clock.
This proves their friendship and commitment to a common project. Thom Yorke's foot remains in both camps. Radiohead are currently without a label, and are working on their seventh studio album, expected for release sometime in 2007. The event will be followed up by recording another CD album by Tom Yorke's.
The new album will feature 10 songs, which have already been played by the band at autumn gigs. Radiohead decided to act reversely through recording songs, selected by their fan-base and considered as successful. The fan-base are inspired to expect Thom Yorke's new album release.
