Planet Notion - 'Radiohead have made Record Companies useless'

'Radiohead have made Record Companies useless'

21/12/2007

Muse drummer Dominic Howard has claimed the way Radiohead released ‘In Rainbows’ shows that record companies are "becoming useless".

'In Rainbows' was released on download for whatever price the public wished to pay or deemed worthy. Such was the albums success that it outsold any previous LP release by the experimental-rock band.

“They’re (Radiohead) unsigned,” Howard told the Mirror, “which means that they are in a different position to us, so they can do whatever the hell they want; it’s cool what they did.

“Bands are constantly thinking of the best ways to release music and a band like that doing it on their own shakes up the record companies and helps them realise that they are gradually becoming more and more useless,” Howard continued.

“It’s a great time for music and a great time for bands, but not for the record companies.”

Radiohead are set to for a world tour in May next year, whilst Muse have started work on a new self-produced album.
