Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Pulp are an Alternative Rock band which originally formed in Sheffield in 1978 as Arabicus Pulp - name mercifully shortened a year later - during lead singer Jarvis Cocker's school days. For all the band's longevity, they remained relatively under the radar until shooting to fame in the mid-90s during the Britpop movement with their single 'Common People' and accompanying album Different Class. Though Pulp never quite eclipsed the ever-feuding Blur and Oasis in commercial popularity, they received heaps of critical adoration, most of it focusing on Jarvis' wry and witty lyrics. Two more albums, This Is Hardcore and We Love Life, followed Different Class to decreasing sales, and the band announced a seemingly-indefinite hiatus in 2001 while Jarvis went on to a solo career. In late 2010, however, Pulp announced that they will be reuniting summer 2011 to play festivals across Europe, including headlining stints at Reading and Leeds. |
