What: “Magic Whip”

Where: Recorded in Avon Studios, Hong Kong & Studio 13, London

Why: With the release of Magic Whip, Blur’s first album of new material in 12 years and first in 16 years with their original lineup, the band has proven once and for all that when it comes down to all the scrappy bouts and rows over Brit Pop supremacy, after all is sang and done, ultimately, they matter and Oasis do not.

When: Released April 27, 2015
