After graduating from Salford University with a degree in Sociology, he moved to London to pursue a career in journalism and worked as a features editor and agony uncle.I was totally blown away by the end, I totally thought it was going one way until like 4 pages left it the book, then he totally flipped it on me.

Their music would become increasingly more polished, challenging and adventurous but somehow at the same time Pulp never quite sounded this raw and hungry again.
