Radiohead management dismiss Warner move rumours
A representative from the band's Oxford, England-based management firm Courtyard Management tells Billboard.com that for the current sessions, Radiohead is "putting some ideas together" to "see where they want to go with the next step musically."
The band is also moving forward without label representation, having fulfilled its recording contract with EMI with the 2003 release of "Hail to the Thief." That album debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 932,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Radiohead's management dismissed speculation over recent months that Warner Music was poised to secure the band's signature. "The band [is] not looking for a record company in any way, shape or form," the representative says. "They are out of a contract, but they're not actively looking for another one. They're getting on with doing what they do." An EMI spokesperson declined to comment on the subject.
