Blur is an alternative rock band which formed in Colchester, England in 1989. The band consisted of Damon Albarn (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Graham Coxon (guitar, vocals), Alex James (bass) and Dave Rowntree (drums). Blur's debut album Leisure (1991) incorporated the sounds of Madchester and shoegazing. Following a stylistic change in 1992—influenced by English guitar groups such as The Kinks, The Beatles, The Animals and XTC—Blur released "Popscene" as a stand alone single, this was a comercial flop, but was widely considered to be a crucial turning point for the bands style.
