Radiohead's Solo Album Selway Discusses

Radiohead drummer Philip Selway has revealed some new details about his solo album, Familial, an August which is slated for 30 release in the U.K. "I've been playing guitar and writing songs since I was 15 but I started really thinking about making an album around four years ago," Selway tells Pitchfork."But I didn't know I'd sing on it; I didn't feel at that point I had a convincing voice," he adds. "It took four years of trial and error to find out the stretches I could make. It's a bit of a leap of faith."Selway will follow the release of Familial with a short British tour. He will act as the main support for Wilco."I am one of the more shadowy figures in Radiohead which is a great place to be," Selway adds. "As a drummer in a five piece, you can easily get bound up in this rather distasteful shout for attention but, in some ways, a drummer is there to do a job and doesn't actually need to speak."

Radiohead speaks of new album

Currently, Phil Selway from Radiohead confirmed that their fresh album is still in the pipeline and songs are yet to be written. About his sorrowful folk album called Familial he also spoke largely. On August 31 the album is supposed to be out. He also says that his role in the band is a little shadowy and a little obscure.
His album promises to be an interesting stroll of Nick Drake kind folk tunes. The album would also have a host of guest spots filled by the likes of Lisa Germano and Wilco’s Glenn Kotche. Pat Sansone would also be one of the artists, who would appear a guest on the album. Reportedly, it’s been three years since the band ever released an album. Their last release was in 2007, with an album called In Rainbows. In Abingdon the band that was formed, Oxfordshire is expected to have a release as soon as they complete writing the songs.

Radiohead: Kasabian deny Gallagher rumours

Kasabian have denied Noel Gallagher is joining the band following his split from Oasis.
Lead singer Tom Meighan said: "I'd like him to but he's not going to - he's just quit his band, he's putting music aside for a bit."
However, he said if Noel wanted to join them for a concert he would be more than welcome.
"If Noel wants to come on stage with us he can. I love Noel and I love Liam, and if Noel wants to play then I'm sure he'll come and play," Tom said.
And the Kasabian frontman told how he is mourning the loss of Oasis, saying: "They're heroes, I lost my heroes."
Kasabian were at the Q Awards where they picked up Best Album for West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, and Meighan thinks it has been a long time coming.
He said: "We're the best, the best of the best. I'm happy we won because we deserve it. It's about time we won something like this, we've been waiting a long time."
And the Leicester born singer ruled out ever releasing an album over the internet for free.
"Never, over my dead body. Would you go into a restaurant and eat for free? Would you go into a garage and drive away in a car for free?.
"Radiohead can give their album away for free but there are clever little ploys to get their money back - you've got to think of the bigger picture."
