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.
