Blur is a legendary English rock band that helped define the Britpop movement of the 1990s. Formed in London in 1988, the group features Damon Albarn (vocals), Graham Coxon (guitar), Alex James (bass), and Dave Rowntree (drums). Their early sound blended shoegaze and Madchester influences, but they soon pivoted to a distinctly British guitar-pop style that set them apart.
Albums like Modern Life Is Rubbish, Parklife, and The Great Escape turned Blur into cultural icons, especially during their famous chart rivalry with Oasis. Their 1997 self-titled album introduced a grittier, more American-influenced sound, with the explosive hit “Song 2” earning them global recognition.
After a hiatus and side projects—including Albarn’s work with Gorillaz—Blur reunited for tours and new releases, including The Magic Whip (2015) and The Ballad of Darren (2023). Their music continues to evolve, but their sharp wit, inventive sound, and British charm remain unmistakable.
