I know they were a hugely popular band, but I the only song I know is the one from the video.

Gorillaz are still massive and were Grammy nominated last year.

You're missing out! Gorillaz, Demon Days, and Plastic Beach are all great albums. Their other albums are ok. Blur is a great band too, pretty sure I like all of their albums.

Also, if you like that rap verse, check out Del the Funky Homosapien/Deltron

Deltron 3030 is one of the most amazing things ever!

Yeah Gorillaz is my favorite band and this video was the beginning of the journey. Remember watching it and being blown away by the music and the video itself

If you love Demon Days and Plastic Beach, one of the things you probably also love (know it or not) is De La Soul.

De La Soul for legal contractual reasons didn't have their music on any streaming services until recently so a good time to revisit or to discover them.

Dr. Octagon has the same vibe.

Coincidentally the album Plastic Beach came out 1 month before the BP oil spill.

I think they're bigger in the UK. Super creative band, I wish they got more recognition, even though I don't really listen to them myself.
