Britpop: its the only term that can accurately encompass the bright, bold sound and attitude that burst from the United Kingdom in the 90s. Beginning with the release of Blurs single Popscene in 1992, peaking with Oasis triumphant outdoor live shows at Knebworth in 1996 and closing with Pulps come-down album This is Hardcore in 1998, this alternative rock subgenre grew to be one of Britains most impactful musical movements of the modern era. Here, in more than 500 light-hearted but meticulously researched entries, musicians and fans Jenny Natasha and Tom Boniface-Webb pay tribute to a brief but pivotal moment in musical history; turning the spotlight on key players like Liam Gallagher, Brett Anderson, Jarvis Cocker and Damon Albarn as well as unsung heroes who fought under the red, white and blue banner in the Britpop revolution.
