A special edition celebrating the Britpop era is now on sale, marking 30 years since the British guitar band resurgence that dominated the 1990s. The publication takes an in-depth look at the major players, rivalries, classic albums, and what they are doing now.
The Britpop Phenomenon
Britpop was a term coined to describe a resurgence of interest in British guitar bands and British culture that started in the early 1990s and peaked around 1996. During that time, bands like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede, Elastica, and Supergrass were the biggest acts, captivating the public with their music and antics.
These bands were not only favorites of the music press but also featured heavily in tabloid newspapers, lads' magazines, and serious publications. For a few years in the mid-1990s, Britpop was everywhere.
What the Special Edition Offers
The Britpop special explores the musical careers of the main acts, the songs that propelled them to the top of the charts, the big characters, memorable moments, rows, rivalries, and the classic albums that still sound great today. It also examines Britpop's lasting legacy and what the key figures are currently doing.
