Bang (Blur song)

"Bang" is a song by the British alternative rock band Blur, released as a single in 1991. It was the band's second single, following their debut "She's So High."

The song is characterized by its upbeat tempo, prominent guitar riffs, and Damon Albarn's distinctive vocals. "Bang" is generally considered a Britpop precursor, demonstrating the band's early sound before their later, more experimental work.

The lyrics of "Bang" are somewhat abstract, dealing with themes of adolescence, excitement, and fleeting moments. The song's title and chorus are suggestive of a quick, impactful experience.

While not as commercially successful as some of Blur's later hits, "Bang" helped to establish the band's presence in the UK music scene and contributed to their growing fanbase. The single reached number 24 on the UK Singles Chart.

"Bang" was included on Blur's debut album, Leisure, released in 1991. It continues to be a popular track among Blur fans, often included in retrospective collections and occasionally performed live.
