Pulp are a rock band, formed in Sheffield, England in 1978, by then 15-year-old school-boy Jarvis Cocker (vocals, guitar). They were originally known as "Arabicus Pulp", but this was shortened a year later. The members of Pulp were all schoolmates attending City High School in Sheffield and supported fellow school band Crude in their first gigs. They cite their influences as David Bowie, The Cure, The Beatles and The Kinks.They are most famous in the UK, where their blend of disco-influenced pop-rock coupled with the amusing down-to-earth kitchen-sink lyrics of front-man Jarvis Cocker saw them become popular during the mid 1990s. After their last album We Love Life (2001), the band entered into an extended hiatus, from which they are yet to emerge.
