In the 1990s following on from showgaze and the baggy Madchester scene, and in direct response to the American grunge invasion, a new generation of bands started producing uniquely British music.

 

It reflected the changing times, the slow demise of the Tory administration and the promise of a brighter future (or so it seemed). From the first green shoots of 1992 until it ran out of steam at the end of the decade, music that could be called pop or indie became known simply as 'Britpop'.

 

Blur, Oasis, Pulp & Suede. Elastica, Sleeper, Catatonia & Echobelly. Shed Seven, Dodgy, Mansun & Ocean Colour Scene. Just the start of a long list of great bands and we go deeper, so much deeper, to bands that even some of the people who were in them have forgotten about!
