About this episode
The Big Mates discuss band names, Brian May, crying at books, and the early days of Radiohead . Adam, Steve, and Lucas start at the beginning, talkign about the individual members of Radiohead, how they grew up, and then follow them through the early days of music making as On A Friday . They listen to early demos and chart the band's musical progression all the way up to their transformation into Radiohead and the release of their debut EP, Drill . The Big Mates go track-by-track on the EP, offering up analysis, opinions, and context from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between. How did Radiohead form? What did they sound like? WHICH AVENGER IS THOM YORKE?! Find out on this episode of What Is Music?
