Has A Bends-Era Radiohead Song Appeared Online?

by Tim Cashmere on December 23, 2011

An untitled and previously unheard Radiohead song from the mid-90s appears to have surfaced online.

The song sounds like a throwaway from the band’s first two albums, Pablo Honey or The Bends. The clip itself says it is a Bends-era song.

Radiohead fan site www.ateaseweb.com says that Putting Ketchup in the Fridge “has been named as the actual title of the track,” although they offer no source.

Have a listen to the song below and tell us in the comments whether you think it is real or a hoax? While you’re there, tell us what you think the song should be called. I think Putting Ketchup in the Fridge is a bit of a crap name. The song is alright though.
