Britpop's biggest bands - where are they now?
From Ride to Elastica to Pulp and beyond
Ride - now: Since their split in 1996, Andy Bell played with Hurricane #1, Oasis and then Beady Eye until their recent split, and Mark Gardener and Loz Colbert worked and played together for an album with The Animalhouse. Now, they're back - playing some massive UK and EU shows next year as well as headlining Field Day.

Ride are back, and on the road - heralding the return of one of the 90s most influential bands, one that paved the way for the likes of Primal Scream and Oasis. They were, if you will, proto-Britpop. There's a lot riding on what they do next, and it got us to thinking about what happened next to their other Brtipop peers.
Few of the bands remain. Some continue to make music, others jumped on the reunion train, many formed different careers entirely. However, their legacy shall never be forgotten.
From Blur, Pulp and Oasis to Elastica, Sleeper and Menswear - here's a look at some of Britpop's biggest bands: then and now.
