Speculation about TV on the Radio's return began to circulate late last month after the band updated their website and social media pages for the first time in a long time. Their latest album, SeedsThey arrived in 2014 and their most recent live show was in 2019; since then, there hasn't been much from the band except radio silence (pun intended).
