Pulp, formed in 1978 in Sheffield, England, is a seminal Britpop band known for their unique blend of alternative rock, pop, and British cultural references. Led by the charismatic Jarvis Cocker, the band's most renowned lineup includes Russell Senior, Mark Webber, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, and Nick Banks. After a slow start, Pulp gained momentum with their 1992 album "Separations" and achieved critical and commercial success with "His 'n' Hers" in 1994. Their breakthrough came with the 1995 album "Different Class," which reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and featured hits like "Common People," "Disco 2000," and "Sorted for E's & Wizz." This album won the Mercury Music Prize in 1996, cementing Pulp's status as a leading act of the Britpop era. Following subsequent albums "This Is Hardcore" (1998) and "We Love Life" (2001), the band announced an "indefinite hiatus" in 2002 but reunited in 2011 to perform at various festivals, celebrating their enduring legacy.
