Introduction to Blur
Blur
are an English rock/pop band formed in 1988 under
the name of Seymour. They were one of the most
significant bands of the 1990s in Britain and the important part of the so-called Britpop
movement.
The band have
released seven studio albums plus two compilations to date. Their breakthrough
album Parklife was released in 1994. The
band's most popular hits include "Song
2", "Country House",
"Girls & Boys" and "Parklife".
However, Blur are far more than
Britpop and the hits you may have heard. If you include their
solo projects, it's hard to come by with a musical style they
haven't covered. Their music is usually an
inventive mixture of different styles. Every album the band have
released is unique and musically different.
Guitarist Graham Coxon left Blur in 2002,
but reunited with the band five years later. In 2009,
they played a summer reunion tour that included two
massive concerts in London's Hyde Park.
In April 2010, the band
released a newly recorded song called "Fool's Day" as
part of Record Store Day. Damon said at the time that
the band will very likely record more one-off singles in
the future. However, as of September 2010, all Blur
members have got individual projects to do and
apparently the further Blur studio sessions will have to
wait.
