Liars Impressed by Radiohead's Eco Credentials

Rock'n'roll may well be characterised by inter-band rivalries, but Liars and Radiohead have become something of a mutual admiration society of late. Sonic terrorists Liars have been moved to speak in glowing terms of Radiohead's efforts to leave as small a carbon footprint as possible while touring after they supported the Oxford quintet in 2008 . Returning the favour, Radiohead's Thom Yorke has added a new dimension to an upcoming remixed version of Liars' upcoming new album, 'Sisterworld.'
"It was certainly amazing to see a band put together a tour that was completely earth conscious. You couldn't have had these plastic cups here," Liars frontman Angus Andrew told BBC 6 Music. "That's just not allowed. There were no plastic water bottles, they gave you a nice one that had screen printing on it and you carried that around with you the whole time."
He continued: "It's quite out of control what other touring acts actually take with them on the road with them.
"So it's not silly or superficial, or something to show off with when you really try to make a difference there. A lot of trucks and a lot of gear just ends up making a big mess."
Liars new album, 'Sisterworld', is released on Mar. 8.
