Artist Biography

Blur formed in Colchester, England in 1989 under the name Seymour (which again was formed from the remains of a group called Circus). After signing a record deal, they changed their name to Blur and went on to become one of the most critically and commercially successful bands of the 1990s Brit Rock movement. Blur still exerts much influence eighteen years after their initial formation, and are known as a defining Brit Pop rock band.

The band is formed by Damon Albarn (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Alex James (bass guitar) and Dave Rowntree (drums). Graham Coxon (guitar, backing vocals) left the band in 2002.

Initially, the band came out of the baggy and shoegazing scene, very much taking influence from artists such as The Stone Roses. Their first album, Leisure was not a critical success, with many journalists seeing them as a manufactured band. Despite this, the albums was still a modest commercial success, hitting number 7 in the UK chart. The single There's No Other Way also broke into the top 10, however, further singles from the album failed to breach the top 20.
