TV on the Radio is an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2001.
The first release from TV on the Radio (initially, just founding members Adebimpe and Sitek) was the self-released OK Calculator (the title being a reference to Radiohead‘s album, OK Computer). They were later joined by Kyp Malone, and released the Young Liars EP in 2003. This was followed by the full-length Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes, which earned the band the 2004 Shortlist Music Prize. They released a second EP, New Health Rock, later that year.

A solo album by Dave Sitek, Maximum Balloon, was released August 24, 2010, on Interscope, and featured a variety of guest vocals by many of his musician friends, such as Karen O, David Byrne, and both of his TVOTR vocalist bandmates.
In May 2013, TVOTR headlined and curated the All Tomorrow’s Parties music festival, held at Pontins holiday camp in Camber Sands, England, at which they debuted the new song, “Mercy”.
In early 2015, it was announced that TVOTR would perform at the Shaky Knees and Boston Calling Music Festivals in May.
TV on the Radio has said that their eclectic music is due to their appreciation for diverse bands, including Bad Brains, Earth, Wind & Fire, Nancy Sinatra, Serge Gainsbourg, Brian Eno, and Pixies. Adebimpe covered the Pixies song, “Mr. Grieves”, under the TVOTR moniker at the beginning of his career, layering his voice over forty times. The band has also cited Prince’s “Purple Rain” as a classic. TV on the Radio have also named post-punk acts Wire and Siouxsie and the Banshees as influences.
