People have been doing a lot of archive cleaning recently, it seems!
Remember back in November when we reported that a plucky YouTube user klootme had uploaded two deep cuts from Radiohead's earliest documented demo tape from 1986 back when they were called On A Friday before Johnny Greenwood had joined the lineup? According to At Ease, the same YouTuber uploaded another more track this weekend: the eerily Smiths-sounding "Fat Girl," which along with a third track - the funky "Fragile Friend" - gives us a deeper look at where the band's heads were at long before Pablo Honey was even a twinkle in Thom Yorke's eye.
Check out both tracks below. klootme commented over the weekend that she won't be probably won't be uploading any more tracks, but with the Internet being what it is / existing, we're betting some more new (old) On A Friday material will surface sometime soon.
UPDATE: Well that was fast! klootme has uploaded a FIFTH demo track, "Lemming Trail," which you can now check out below.

Check Out Two Early (Really Early) Radiohead Demos
Whoa. So we've been pretty thoroughly obsessed with news on Radiohead's future, but recently an intrepid YouTuber named klootime reminded us that there's still plenty of intriguing stuff in the band's past that's worth checking out.
The following two tracks, "Everybody Knows" and "Girl (In The Purple Dress)," come from Radiohead's earliest demo tape recorded in 1986, back when they were a teenage band known as On A Friday and before Johnny Greenwood came on as a fulltime member. Check them out below to see how Radiohead sounded well before they released everyone's favorite album ever, Pablo Honey - one of the tracks even has a saxophone solo! (Cheers to Some Kind of Awesome for the tip!)
