Pulp

Before their live debut in Chicago on September 8, 2024, Pulp had enjoyed a fascinating journey through the British music scene. Their last studio album, 'This Is Hardcore,' was released in 1998, marking a peak in their critical acclaim and commercial success. Interestingly, 'Spike Island,' the song performed at the Aragon Ballroom, nods to their iconic film of the same name, which showcases their roots in the Britpop era. As fans eagerly awaited new material, this live performance represented both a nostalgic homage to their past and an exciting new chapter. Given Pulp's knack for capturing the zeitgeist, the song suggests a fresh direction while honoring the band's signature literary flair and social commentary that made them legends in the 90s.
