Blur- 2005 Sessions

Blur front man Damon Albarn has said in multiple interviews that the band, without guitarist Graham Coxon, recorded 15 punk rock songs in 2005, right before Damon Albarn recorded the album "Demon Days" with his band Gorillaz. "It's a bunch of short, fast, fun punk songs..." he said. The band decided not to release the material because it wasn't up to the quality they normally gave. Two of the songs were mentioned. They were re-recorded versions of two previous Blur demos "Subspecies of an American Day" and "Pleasent Education". Damon Albarn also said he recorded a cover of the Beck song "Gamma Ray", but later said it was just to warm up for the Gorillaz sessions.
