Pulp

Pulp is an iconic British alternative rock band that emerged from the depths of Sheffield in the late 1970s. The band is most notably fronted by enigmatic singer and lyricist Jarvis Cocker, whose distinctive stage presence and sharp-witted lyrics became emblematic of the group's style. Pulp's music is characterized by a blend of pop rock with a cerebral twist, combining infectious melodies with introspective and often wry commentary on British life. Despite early years of obscurity and frequent lineup changes, the band's tenacity paid off as they gained prominence in the 1990s, becoming one of the leading figures in the Britpop movement.

Pulp's breakthrough came with their 1994 album "His 'n' Hers," but it was the 1995 release "Different Class" that catapulted them to widespread acclaim, earning them a Mercury Prize and spawning hit singles like "Common People" and "Disco 2000." Their music captures the zeitgeist of the mid-90s, characterized by a mix of glamour and grit, with a particular penchant for exploring class disparity and romantic disillusionment. Although the band saw a downturn in commercial success with subsequent albums such as “This Is Hardcore” and “We Love Life,” they retained a dedicated fan base. After disbanding in the early 2000s, Pulp has reunited several times, most notably in 2011 for a series of well-received concerts. The band's influence persists, and their wittily crafted songs remain vital to the soundtrack of the 90s Britpop era.
