The Hold Steady slam Radiohead

The Hold Steady's Tad Kubler has criticised Radiohead for cathartic their last album In Rainbows on a pay-what-you-like scheme.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, Kubler as well confessed that he dislikes the musical direction the British band has taken in recent years.

"I think they've lost the plot," he stated. "What ar they doing? Where are they leaving? What's natural event? I don't get it anymore. They lost me.

"I still apprise what they're doing, or what they're trying to do. But I think they're trying too toilsome not to be Radiohead. That seems a short ridiculous to me.

"I like them as a rock music band, [it's] all the buttons and sequencing and stuff like that I don't really care for. I'm a fan of rock music and what they're doing now I don't conceive is very good."

Brooklyn-based bikers The Hold Steady, world Health Organization played a set at last weekend's V Festival, will embark on a UK circuit in September.
