Graham,
Damon,
Alex and
Dave: Blur in 2015
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. Many remember Blur from the infamous Britpop
battle against Oasis.
The band have
released eight studio albums plus two compilations, which have
sold around 15 million copies worldwide. Their breakthrough
album Parklife was released in 1994 and featured the
hits "Girls & Boys" and "Parklife". The band's other popular
songs include "Song 2", "Beetlebum",
"Country House" and "Coffee & TV".
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. The reunion resulted in live tours, where they mainly played their most loved songs.
Blur's latest studio album
The Magic Whip - the first in 12 years - was released in
2015. The band supported it with live shows around the world,
including London's BST Hyde Park festival and
New York's Madison Square Garden.
The band have just announced
that they will perform a greatest hits set at London's Wembley
Stadium on 8th and 9th July 2023. Also, Damon has expressed his
interest to record a new Blur album: "Yes, I have some songs
that I carry with me, not physically, metaphorically and I hope that next
year we can do something. It would be very nice to make another
album," he told Rolling Stone
México in September 2021. "There's no new music in the works
for the time being. But who knows?" Graham updated the
situation to Guitar
World in late 2022.
