Blur

Blur are an English alternative rock band that formed in London in 1989.
They were known as Seymour, but their record company refused to sign them until they changed it. They picked Blur from a list of names the record company gave them.
Albarn created Gorillaz as a side project in 2001. The group released an album, but was seen only as cartoons.
Blur reached number 61 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold, while "Song 2" peaked at number six on the Modern Rock chart.
Blur contributed to a genre of English music called "Britpop," which was popular in the early '90s. Many of these bands were one-hit-wonders, like EMF and Jesus Jones.
