Publisher's Summary
Blur defined the term "Britpop", providing a soundtrack for the '90s Cool Britannia movement. Racking up hit upon hit, the Essex quartet - led by Damon Albarn - became a permanent fixture in the charts, leading to a race with Northern counterparts Oasis to become the UK's premier band. Yet, when the flames of Britpop cooled, Blur proved capable of reinvention, embracing new sounds to keep themselves one step ahead. Over 20 years later, they continue to do so.
ION Test The Life of Blur explores the history and debunks the myths around the band formerly known as Seymour: from their origins at London's Goldsmith College to their multi-million-selling albums and the group's various solo activities, including Damon Albarn's experiments with Gorillaz and Graham Coxon's assault on the indie charts. Featuring new interviews with Blur's collaborators, Britpop rivals, and friends, this is the definitive biography of one of the UK's most beloved bands.
