Origin Sheffield, England Genres Britpop art rock indie pop Years active 1978–2002 2011–2013 2022–present Pulp are an English rock band formed in Sheffield in 1978. At their critical and commercial peak, the band consisted of Jarvis Cocker (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Russell Senior (guitar, violin), Candida Doyle (keyboards), Nick Banks (drums, percussion), Steve Mackey (bass) and Mark Webber (guitar, keyboards). The band's "kitchen sink drama" lyrics, coupled with its references to British culture, led to Cocker and Pulp becoming reluctant figureheads of the Britpop movement.[4] The band struggled to find success during the 1980s, but gained UK prominence in the mid-1990s first with His 'n' Hers (1994), which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. Its follow-up, Different Class (1995), won the Mercury Prize, reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and spawned four top ten singles, including the number two hits "Common People" and "Mis-Shapes/Sorted for E's & Wizz". The band's sixth album, This Is Hardcore (1998), also debuted at number one in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. At their peak, Pulp headlined the Pyramid Stage of the Glastonbury Festival twice and were regarded among the Britpop "big four", along with Oasis, Blur and Suede.[5][6] The band released We Love Life in 2001 and then took a decade-long break, having sold more than 10 million records.[7] Pulp reunited in 2011 to play multiple festivals and released "After You" in 2013, their first song in 12 years. The band reunited a second time in 2022 to tour once again. Pulp 是英国另类摇滚乐团，由主唱创作兼吉他手Jarvis Cocker 贾维斯·卡克于1978年组建、成立于英格兰雪菲尔。原名“阿拉伯果浆”（Arabicus Pulp），并在一年后将其简化为纸浆乐队。纸浆可谓是大器晚成的一只传奇乐队，曲风怪诞另类，阴冷性感，从70年代成军，80年代的被忽略，沉默蛰伏十几年，才在90年代一曲成名，与绿洲、山羊皮、模糊四分天下，成为当时最成功的英伦乐队之一。其创作的单曲common people拥有极高的国民度，更是被许多人称为英国国歌，滚石杂志读者评选十佳Britpop单曲第一位，著名另类独立音乐杂志Pitchfork评选的百大英伦摇滚专辑中纸浆乐队的Different Class（不同阶级）荣获榜首，传达了阶级与性，低俗与高雅的一张佳作。乐队运行期间队员的不停更换，而只有核心人物贾维斯一直砥砺前行担起大任，可以说给纸浆乐队带来荣光的大部分来自贾叔。
