Pulp Live at Olympia Performing 'This Is Hardcore'
In November 2012, Pulp performed live at the iconic L'Olympia in Paris, showcasing their distinct blend of Britpop and alternative rock. This performance came shortly after their comeback album, 'We Love Life', released in 2001, marking the band's last studio effort before their hiatus. Interestingly, 'This Is Hardcore'—the song highlighted in the video—was part of their critically acclaimed 1998 album of the same name, and it explores themes of desire and disillusionment in a raw, emotional way. At this point in their career, Pulp had re-emerged on the scene, having reunited for various performances and festivals, captivating both longtime fans and a new generation of listeners drawn to their insightful storytelling and distinct sound. The November 2012 concert is a testament to their enduring legacy, reaffirming why Jarvis Cocker and his band are celebrated as pillars of the 90s music landscape.
