Summary

Blur defined the term 'Britpop', providing a soundtrack for the 1990's 'cool Britannia' movement. Racking up hit upon hit, the Essex quartet became a permanent fixture on the charts, leading to an ugly rivalry with their Northern counterparts Oasis in the race to become the UK's premier band. Yet, when the flames of Britpop cooled, Blur proved capable of reinvention, embracing new sounds and textures to stay one step ahead. Delving into every detail of Blur's pock-marked history, this book also sheds new light on the group's various solo activities, including Damon Albarn's experiments with Gorillaz.
