Editors 'deny anti-Radiohead stance'

Editors frontman Tom Smith has declared that he is not "spearheading a campaign" against Radiohead.

Smith recently said that he believed the Oxford band were devaluing music by releasing 2007 album In Rainbows as a pay-what-you-like download. He labelled the rockers "selfish" and claimed that the decision contradicted their current anti-filesharing stance.

However, the singer has now moved to clarify his comments, saying that he wasn't trying to attack Radiohead personally.

"All this debate… it's hard getting involved because I don't offer a solution," he told NME Radio.

"I'm not saying [Radiohead] started a problem, I'm not spearheading a campaign against them. The problem is devaluing music. Radiohead gave away their record for free… big bands have a responsibility for small bands."
