Radiohead

Radiohead's "My Iron Lung" was released on their 1995 sophomore album, "The Bends." By the time of the live recording at the Live Bullet Sound Studio, the band was gaining significant traction in the alternative rock scene, solidifying their reputation with their innovative sound and introspective lyrics. "The Bends" showcased their evolution from the grunge-oriented style of their debut album, "Pablo Honey," and established them as pioneers in the genre. Notably, during this period, Radiohead was beginning to explore themes of alienation, technology, and modernity, which would resonate through their later work.

This recording serves as an essential marker in their career, illustrating their artistic growth and experimentation.
