The Bends is the critically acclaimed second studio album by English rock band Radiohead, originally released on March 13, 1995. Transitioning from their debut album Pablo Honey, this landmark alternative rock release features a sweeping, textured three-guitar attack layered with frontman Thom Yorke's introspective, melancholic lyricism. The album features iconic singles such as "High and Dry", "Fake Plastic Trees", "Just", and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)".
