For all the band's longevity, they remained relatively under the radar until shooting to fame in the mid-90s during the Britpop movement with their single 'Common People' and accompanying album Different Class. Though Pulp never quite eclipsed the ever-feuding Blur and Oasis in commercial popularity, they received heaps of critical adoration, most of it focusing on Jarvis' wry and witty lyrics. Two more albums, This Is Hardcore and We Love Life, followed Different Class to decreasing sales, and the band announced a seemingly-indefinite hiatus in 2001 while Jarvis went on to a solo career. In late 2010, however, Pulp announced that they will be reuniting summer 2011 to play festivals across Europe, including headlining stints at Reading and Leeds. Although Jarvis is the only constant member, their best known line-up (and the one reuniting in 2011) consists of him (vocals), Russell Senior (guitar, violin), Mark Webber (guitar), Candida Doyle (keyboards), Steve Mackey (bass) and Nick Banks (drums).
