New York based indie rockers Liars have praised Radiohead after being invited onto a world tour with the British band. Liars and Radiohead have plenty in common. A maverick streak, a desire to evolve artistically - the two groups are almost unrecognisable from the material they released a decade ago.

New York group Liars are set to return with their album 'Sisterworld' in March. An ambitious return, it will come complete with a bonus album of remixes by some famous friends. Amongst the stellar cast are members of Suicide, Atlas Sound and Radiohead's Thom Yorke.

Speaking to BBC Radio 6, Liars revealed that their friendship with Radiohead began some time ago. Invited onto the band's world tour the New York group were astonished to see the level of dedication the Oxford musician's put into their green energy pledges. “It was certainly amazing to see a band put together a tour that was completely earth conscious. You couldn’t have had these plastic cups here,” Angus Andrew said. “That’s just not allowed. There were no plastic water bottles, they gave you a nice one that had screen printing on it and you carried that around with you the whole time.”

Continuing, the singer remarked that it could well be time that more groups took a (hopefully metaphorical) leaf out of Radiohead's book. “It’s quite out of control what other touring acts actually take with them on the road with them,” he said.

“So it’s not silly or superficial, or something to show off with when you really try to make a difference there. A lot of trucks and a lot of gear just ends up making a big mess.”

Liars admitted that Radiohead could well be helping the climate change movement. “They infuse the cause with their own take on music and visuals, so I think that made it more inspiring again because it wasn’t two unattached things,” he said.

Liars are set to release their new album 'Sisterworld' in March.
