Fondateur  des Studios Forts Apache à Cambridge avec Sean Slade, Paul Q.Koldery s ‘est illustré en tant que producteurs, mixeurs et ingénieurs du son sur les premiers albums de Radiohead.

Sean Slade, souvent accompagné de Paul Q.Kolderie est venu donner un coup de main au groupe quand celui-ci peinait à trouver un bon son pour leurs premiers enregistrements de Pablo Honey.

La première impression des deux hommes sur le groupe n’est pas géniale, mais elle changera vite :
[quote ]“My first impresions was that they were desperately inexperienced,” se souvient Kolderie à propos des premières sessions d’enregistrement “The other was that we didn’t like these songs Parlophone had chosen, and i don’t think the band liked them much either. Inside My Head was not very melodic, didn’t have any of the stuff we thought the others had, so we were rather disappointed. And then one day in rehearsal, they burst into this other song, which i guess they had just written. When they finished it, Thom mumbles something like, ’That’s our Scott walker song’…except I thought he said, ’That’s a Scott Walker song.’ Now i was pretty familiar with Scott Walker, but Jeez, there’s a lot of albums and i could have missed something ! We walked out of the rehearsal that night and Sean said, ’Too bad their best song is a cover’.”[/quote]
Ils ont également travaillé avec des artistes comme bosstones, lush, tanya donnely, juliana hatfield, the 360’s, hole, morphine, buffalo tom and throwing muses…..
