Gorillaz

Gorillaz was created by Damon Albarn in 1998 and consists of four animated members: 2-D (vocals), Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (guitar) and Russel Hobbs (drums). Although these characters are fictional, they have contributed to the legacy and universe of the band. Their musical style consists of different elements, including hip hop, electronic music and alternative rock. Gorillaz released their self-titled debut album in 2001 and has since sold over eight million copies worldwide. The band has won various awards including one Grammy Award and have performed at many major music festivals around the world. After a five-year hiatus, the band released their fifth album Humanz in 2017.
