The band was called Sunny Day Real Estate from Seattle, WA. The song, "In Circles". It's off of their debut CD Diary which was released on Sub Pop Records in 1994.
You may recognize the bassist and drummer. They went on to become the rhythm section for a little band called Foo Fighters. Heard of 'em?

Lead singer, Jeremy Enigk, went on to record a few solo albums after the release of the Pink Album but those never really caught the ears of die hard fans. He also scored the soundtrack for the Ryan Gosling/Kevin Spacey flick The United States of Leland.
A live CD and two more releases followed along with reunion shows and full tours for How It Feels To Be Something On and The Rising Tide. And you thought they simply disappeared into obscurity...

60 Belgian Women Sing Radiohead's Creep (Listen)
That said, it?s been a long time since I?ve actually listened to any early-era Radiohead, but I recently discovered this fantastic live recording of Scala & Kolacny Brothers doing a beautifully sullen piano and voice rendition of Radiohead?s ubiquitous 1993 single.
