The Bends (Full Song)

Radiohead’s 1995 classic “The Bends” is a galvanizing anthem that vacillates between hard-charging power chords, thoughtful breakdowns and stomping, overdriven rave-ups. This is the title track from their sophomore effort that really launched the band’s career as one of the most important artists of the 20th century. Learn everything from the dramatic quiet-loud build-up, to the kinetic middle eight to the cathartic chorus. Countless acts would borrow Radiohead’s signature sound over the course of ensuing decades, but there is nothing like the real deal.
