Speaking to NME, the Mercury nominated act, who are routinely called “the new Radiohead”, said that when Radiohead first started out under the name On A Friday they were “really fucking bad” and they’re confident that their album ‘An Awesome Wave’ is better.
Talking about the comparisons, singer Joe Newman said: “Have you heard their very first thing, when they were called On A Friday? It’s really fucking bad.” To which keyboardist Gus Unger-Hamilton replied: “We’re doing better than Radiohead!”
Speaking about the his theory for why the bands get compared to one another so often, Unger-Hamilton added: “I suppose it’s that we’re vaguely clever and posh.”
