VIDEO THRWBCK: Pulp - Party Hard (1998)

No '90s band matched the wit and pop appeal of Pulp and their charismatic frontman Jarvis Cocker. After This is Hardcore came out in 1997, Jarvis described it in the press as having almost destroyed his band, life, and sanity, but man, was it worth it. Almost as good as its predecessor, the modern classic Different Class, This is Hardcore and our favorite single off the record, "Party Hard", were Pulp to a "T": lines like "Can you show me a good time?/Do you know what one looks like?" cemented our beliefs that Jarvis is in fact Oscar Wilde reincarnated with a Bryan Ferry fetish.

In the doco Live Forever Jarvis dismisses This Is Hardcore as the product of way too much coke. Tend to agree. Bit crap compared to the albums either side of it. Tracks like Party Hard are sooooo cold and empty feeling. Not in a good way.

Still, some great moments.
