Andy Yorke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andy Yorke (born 1972) is the younger brother of Radiohead singer Thom Yorke. He formed the band Unbelievable Truth in 1994.
Unbelievable Truth was a three piece band from Oxford, with Yorke on lead guitar and vocals, Nigel Powell on drums and piano and Jason Moulster on bass guitar and backing vocals. The band signed a record deal with Virgin and released their debut album "Almost Here" in 1998. The album received positive reviews by musical press and eventually reached N°22 in the UK album chart. However sustained commercial success was not forthcoming due to a lack of support from Virgin and the band were dropped. In 2000, they released their second album "sorrythankyou" on Shifty Disco, the same Oxford independent label that released their first single. This album received mixed reviews from critics and failed to make any commercial inroads. In 2000, Andy Yorke left the band to pursue other interests, returning to university to study Russian politics and business. A posthumous double live and b-sides album was subsequently released in 2001 named "Misc. Music".
On the 19 February 2005, at Oxford's Zodiac, Unbelievable Truth reunited for a single show where they played eight songs as a tribute to victims of the Asian tsunami that had hit India and Thailand in late 2004.
Andy Yorke is currently working on a solo album to be released in early 2007.
