EP
Airbag / How Am I Driving?
Airbag / How Am I Driving? is a Radiohead EP released on 21 April 1998 by EMI Records USA. It gathers most of the B-sides from the singles taken from OK Computer, along with that album's opening track, "Airbag".
It arrived in North America in the months after OK Computer (1997), the band's third album, and works as a companion to it for anyone who wants more from that period. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance.
