Pulp drummer Nick Banks has spoken to NME about lessons learned from his memoir, how Britpop seemed like a “joke” at the time, and what the future may look like for the band.Released last week, So It Started There: From Punk To Pulp tells of the early times, the good times, the not-so-good times and the WTF times” of the band – as described by frontman Jarvis Cocker – as well as the drummer’s early years and life outside of the band.“It was a bit of a lockdown project; I just thought I’d get on and write my version of events,” Banks told NME. “I don’t think that there’d really been an insider’s view of all of the events.
