About this album
The Bends is the album that turned Radiohead from promising newcomers into one of alternative rock’s defining bands. Released in 1995, it sharpened the group’s guitar-driven sound while adding the emotional weight and melodic precision that would become central to their reputation. With standout singles such as High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees and Street Spirit (Fade Out), the record balances direct hooks with uneasy introspection. Produced with the band and John Leckie, it became a crucial bridge between the early-’90s British guitar scene and Radiohead’s later experimental work, helping establish the group as a major force in modern rock.
