No Surprises/Running From Demons is an EP by Radiohead. Released on 10 December 1997, the EP was aimed at the Japanese market in order to promote the band's Japan tour of January 1998.

Track listing

  1. "No Surprises" – 3:49
  2. "Pearly*" (remix) – 3:38
  3. "Melatonin" – 2:08
  4. "Meeting in the Aisle" – 3:07
  5. "Bishop's Robes" – 3:23
  6. "A Reminder" – 3:51

"Meeting in the Aisle" is Radiohead's first completely instrumental track.

This "remixed" version of "Pearly*" (as opposed to the "original version" available on the "Paranoid Android" single and Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP) features clearer production values, louder guitar at the beginning of the song, and a different guitar line at the end. The song "Bishop's Robes" refers to Yorke's experience of cruelty at school. Though he claims that he suffered no physical punishment as a schoolboy, violence was felt in ghastly mind-games, and in the teacher's cruelty: hence the (Morrissey-esque) line "bastard headmaster".

Bishop's Robes is also included on the Street Spirit (Fade Out) CD#1 single.
