Massive Attack

Massive Attack is an English trip-hop collective formed in 1988 in Bristol by Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja, Grant ‘Daddy G’ Marshall, Adrian ‘Tricky’ Thaws and Andrew ‘Mushroom’ Vowles. The group currently consists of Del Naja and Marshall. Their debut album, Blue Lines (1991), is frequently cited as the first major work of the trip hop genre. The single ‘Unfinished Sympathy’ achieved chart success in Europe, including reaching number one on the Dutch Top 40.    Their second album, Protection, was released in 1994, after which Thaws left to pursue a solo career. The group released their third album, Mezzanine, in 1998, which became their first number one on the UK Albums Chart and included the single ‘Teardrop’, later known as the opening theme of the American television series “House”. Vowles left the group in 1999, and Del Naja and Marshall continued as a duo, releasing the albums 100th Window (2003) and Heligoland (2010).
