Pulp

Biography

Different Class turned observational lyricism into nationwide anthems.

Common People became Britpop’s most quoted class narrative without feeling lecture.

This Is Hardcore explored fame’s seedy apartment corners bravely.

High-bitrate streams expose string arrangements, dry spoken asides, and vinyl crack beds.

Jarvis Cocker formed Pulp in Sheffield as a teenager, and the band spent more than a decade in obscurity before His ’n’ Hers (1994) and Different Class (1995) made them leaders of Britpop. Common People, Disco 2000, and Sorted for E’s & Wizz brought sharp social observation.

This Is Hardcore (1998) was a darker follow-up, and We Love Life (2001) followed. The band split in 2002 and reunited in 2011.
