# ***The Blur Biography***

***Blur*** are an English rock band, formed in *[London](https://cutt.ly/lIPfkyL)* in 1988. The group consists of singer ***[Damon Albarn](https://cutt.ly/kIOpffK)***, guitarist ***[Graham Coxon](https://cutt.ly/MIOpgnF)***, bassist ***[Alex James](https://cutt.ly/oIOpkoU)*** and drummer ***[Dave Rowntree](https://cutt.ly/2IOpxaQ)***.

Following an image makeover in the mid-'90s, the group emerged as the most popular band in the U.K., establishing itself as heir to the English guitar pop tradition of ***[The Kinks](https://cutt.ly/fIPfT16)***, ***[The Small Faces](https://cutt.ly/KIPfOYh)***, ***[The Who](https://cutt.ly/FIPfJK5)***, ***[The Jam](https://cutt.ly/XIPglkh)***, ***[Madness](https://cutt.ly/CIPgCC3)***, and ***[The Smiths](https://cutt.ly/GIPg0k0)***. In the process, the group broke down the doors for a new generation of guitar bands that became labelled as *[britpop](https://cutt.ly/dIPg7M8)*.

Through some reinvention, ***Blur*** reclaimed their position as an art pop band in the late '90s by incorporating *indie rock* and *lo-fi* influences, which finally gave them their elusive American success in 1997.
But the band's legacy remained in Britain, where they helped revitalise *guitar pop* by skillfully updating the country's pop traditions.

> Under the suggestion of the band's guitarist, on the fifth self-titled studio album, the band underwent a stylistic change, becoming influenced by American *indie rock* bands such as ***[”Pavement”](https://cutt.ly/SID22HK)***.
> They may superficially appear to be a break from tradition, but it is a logical progression, highlighting the band's rich eclecticism and sense of songcraft.
> Certainly, they are trying for new sonic territory, bringing in shards of white noise, gurgling electronics, raw guitars, and druggy psychedelia, but these are just extensions of previously hidden elements of ***Blur's*** music.
>
> There might be dark overtones to the record, but the band sounds positively joyous, not only in making noise but wreaking havoc with the expectations of its audience and critics.
>
> ***Albarn*** stepped out with the *hip-hop/pop* cartoon group ***[“Gorillaz”](https://cutt.ly/MID9JzD)*** in 2000, a collaboration with artist ***[Jamie Hewlett](https://cutt.ly/bID9VV1)*** that soon eclipsed the popularity of ***Blur*** internationally.
