Pablo Honey was a spotty affair, but Yorke’s soaring, Bono-esque voice and the instrumental prowess of the band pointed to Radiohead’s more ambitious second outing, The Bends. In retrospect, the seeds of a powerful band were there from the beginning. But one listen to Radiohead’s third album, OK Computer - a stunning art-rock tour de force - will have you reeling back to their debut, Pablo Honey, for insight into the group’s dramatic evolution. When their first single, “Creep,” leapt out of MTV’s Buzz Bin, in 1993, it came off like a Nirvana wanna-be from hell the song’s obligatory loud/soft dynamics and Yorke’s self-deprecating lyrics rang empty. On the contrary, Radiohead are one of the few guitar-based bands of the mid-’90s that has grown by leaps and bounds. Which hardly means that his group’s music hasn’t matured. He has survived the demise of grunge with all of his anxiety and disillusionment intact.

Greenwood also notes that the material was “Never intended for public consumption (though some clips did reach the cassette in the OK Computer reissue) it’s only tangentially interesting. All proceeds will benefit the climate change advocacy group Extinction Rebellion. All 18 minidiscs are available to purchase for £18, or about $23, for the next 18 days.
The minidiscs range from about 15 minutes to a little over an hour long, and are not broken into individual tracks, although fans compiled a comprehensive track list after the initial leak. The release is a total of 18 minidiscs that feature a significant amount of unreleased material, recorded by both the full band and frontman Thom Yorke. So instead of complaining - much - or ignoring it, we’re releasing all 18 hours on Bandcamp in aid of Extinction Rebellion… So for £18 you can find out if we should have paid that ransom.” Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood wrote in a note on the band’s Instagram, “someone stole Thom’s minidisk archive from around the time of OK Computer, and reportedly demanded $150,000 on threat of releasing it. Radiohead confirmed that they were recently hacked, so to resolve the threat, they have released 18 hours of material from the OK Computer era on Bandcamp.
