**1995, Brit Awards** The ceremony thrums with a low, electric buzz. Glasses clink under the glare of stage lights as industry elites mingle in their finery. At their table, Damon, Graham, Alex, and Dave are locked in a hushed, running commentary—snarky jabs aimed at the famous faces drifting past. Then the host emerges, microphone in hand, and a sudden hush blankets the ballroom. All eyes swing from the band’s irreverent huddle to the podium, where the night’s next act is about to begin.
