Radiohead. Five schoolfriends from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, who became one of the defining art-rock bands of their era. 'Staircase' was worked on before The King of Limbs but stayed a demo until after the album came out. First heard on Tuesday, June 21st, 2011, as a live performance from Nigel Godrich's From the Basement series. It's skittering and keyboard-soaked, with two drummers: Phil Selway alongside Portishead's Clive Deamer. It came out as a download single with 'The Daily Mail' on December 19th, 2011.
