Pulp

In January 1995, Pulp was on the cusp of achieving significant mainstream success, following the release of their celebrated album "His 'n' Hers" in 1994. This live performance of "I Spy" on Jools Holland showcased the band's distinctive blend of Britpop and social commentary that would soon catapult them into the spotlight. The single "I Spy," which was part of the album "Different Class" released later in 1995, began to define Pulp's sound and lyrical ambition as they tackled themes of desire and class. The band's vibrant performance style combined with Jarvis Cocker's charismatic presence captivated audiences, laying the groundwork for their monumental success later in the decade, particularly with the iconic "Common People." This era marked a transformative period for Pulp, setting the stage for their influential role in the Britpop movement.
