Opting for a more experimental, hip hop style, Gorillaz again received mainstream success especially in the United States. Some time around 1998, Blur front-man Damon Albarn created a fictional, virtual band of cartoon characters otherwise known as Gorillaz. However, Blur have since reformed for a handful of festival appearances and single releases. ![]() Seen as the South of England’s answer to Oasis, Britpop poster children Blur enjoyed widespread success until their disbandment in 2003. Lest we forget the influence the band Blur have had on the British indie scene since the 1990’s.
