In early 2022, they released six singles and performed to an audience for the first time at three shows in London, which were livestreamed. The Smile worked during the COVID-19 lockdowns and made their surprise debut in a performance streamed by Glastonbury Festival in May 2021.
They incorporate elements of post-punk, progressive rock, Afrobeat and electronic music. The Smile are an English rock band comprising the Radiohead members Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, bass, keys) and Jonny Greenwood (guitar, bass, keys) with Tom Skinner (drums).
