Bang (Blur song)

"Bang" is a song by English rock band Blur, released on 29 July 1991 as the third single from their debut album, Leisure.

In later years Dave Rowntree expressed his love of the video, stating it as his favorite of the Blur catalogue.

The music video bears similarity to "Tomorrow Comes Today" by frontman Damon Albarn's later project Gorillaz due to its shots of London and the Centre Point building.

Its disappointing performance relative to previous single "There's No Other Way" marked the end of Blur's initial period of popularity, which would not be equalled until the release of "Girls & Boys" three years later.
