Pulp

In March 1995, during the performance of "Babies" at Brixton Academy, Pulp was experiencing significant momentum following the release of their landmark album, "His 'n' Hers," which came out in 1994. This album marked a turning point for the band, establishing them as key figures in the Britpop movement and introducing their distinct blend of sharp social commentary and catchy melodies. The year of the live recording was pivotal, as it fell just before the release of their next album, "Different Class," in 1995, which would further catapult them into mainstream success. The Brixton show is notable not only for its energetic performance but also for the band's growing notoriety, with frontman Jarvis Cocker's charismatic presence becoming a defining characteristic of their live shows. This era solidified Pulp's place in music history and showcased their evolution from cult favorites to international stars.
