1996’s Different Class album tour took its toll on the band, almost splitting Pulp for good. Mental health and physical strain came to a head with the band fractured.

Describing themselves as a rugged bunch of misfits, drummer Nick Banks retells tales from the last album’s close and the road to This is Hardcore, their 1998 return.
