Radiohead have shared a playlist of ‘The Bends’ B-sides and remixes in celebration of the album’s 30th anniversary.Produced by John Leckie, ‘The Bends’ was Radiohead’s second album and helped propel them to even greater heights.

It marked their first time recording with Nigel Godrich, who has worked with them on every Radiohead album since.Some of the album’s B-sides include ‘India Rubber’, ‘How Can You Be Sure?’, ‘Bishop’s Robes’, ‘Talk Show Host’ and more.

The latter is one of Thom Yorke and co’s most popular B-sides and was featured in Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film Romeo + Juliet. A remix of the song was used to soundtrack the scene in which viewers are introduced to Romeo Montague who was portrayed by Leonardo Dicaprio.The release of the playlist comes after the band shared an unseen live video of one of Yorke‘s solo shows from the time of the release of ‘The Bends’.In the video, the ‘Just’ singer is seen performing an acoustic solo show at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, Canada on March 28, 1995.

The 25 minute video sees him perform ‘(Nice Dream)’, ‘High and Dry’ ‘Street Spirit (Fade Out)’, ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ and ‘Thinking About You’.Elsewhere, the band recently formed a new legal entity, suggesting they may be planning significant activity in 2025.On Monday (March 10), the band established a limited liability partnership (LLP) with the name RHEUK25, something they have done in the past when they are about to announce a new album, tour or reissue.LLPs allow Radiohead to operate their business affairs independently, without relying on the framework of record labels and external companies.
