Pulp Essentials

Pulp Essentials

Best known for their mid-‘90s heyday, Pulp's roots reach back to the late ‘70s, when frontman Jarvis Cocker started the group with his Sheffield schoolmates. Through the ‘80s, the band struggled to find a toehold in the U.K. indie scene. They finally cracked into the mainstream in the ‘90s with a shift toward a sound that touched on glam and disco, capped off by Cocker's sardonic and wise lyrics about romance, sex, and the British class system. Though they split in 2002, the band is still beloved worldwide as evidenced by the rabid response to their reunion tours in 2011 and 2023.
