In the rain-soaked suburbs of Oxford, five outsiders find each other at the exact moment they begin drifting away from the world around them. EXIT MUSIC is not the story of a band becoming famous—it is the story of five young men trying to survive success, reinvention, and their own restless creativity. As the music industry demands certainty, they pursue uncertainty, transforming from awkward school friends into one of the most influential and enigmatic bands in modern history. Told through fractured memories, late-night recording sessions, creative battles, and moments of fragile friendship, the film follows Thom Yorke and Radiohead as they struggle against expectations, fame, and the fear of becoming trapped by their own past. As decades pass and the world changes around them, one question remains: How do you keep moving forward when everyone wants you to stay the same? A haunting and emotionally charged portrait of art, obsession, friendship, and the price of refusing to stand still. “For a minute there, I lost myself.”
