Radiohead site causes album speculation

A new Radiohead website has been launched with a countdown that ends this weekend.

The emergence of radioheadlp7.com, which contains a countdown that appears to end at 9am on Saturday, has prompted speculation that the band may be about to make a formal announcement about the release of their seventh album.

Fans have speculated as to whether this could be the latest addition to the band's codes, which they have leaked on their official website in recent weeks.

Earlier this week fans believed they had cracked the codes, with many internet forums suggesting that they revealed the seventh LP's release date would be March 2008.

Although guitarist Johnny Greenwood has confirmed that the record is finished, no firm release date has been set for the follow-up to 2003's Hail To The Thief.
