Black Grape are widely regarded as one of the most innovative and iconic bands of the last 25 years. Black Grape, aka Shaun Ryder and Kermit, have had 4 Top 10 singles and their debut album It’s Great When You’re Straight… Yeah shot straight to No.1 in the UK charts upon its release in 1995 and went Platinum.

Follow up album Stupid Stupid Stupid went Gold in 1997.

Nearly 20 years after the release of Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Black Grape recorded England Till I Die for the European nations of 2016.

This was the catalyst for another Black Grape collaboration and Pop Voodoo was released in 2017.
