Classic Rewind: Supergrass.
Let’s rewind back to 1995/1996 at the height of America’s Britpop movement. Remember those crazy, free loving guys running across the beach singing and being goofy? Supergrass’ biggest hit, “Alright,” was all over VH1 and MTV. The fluffy, happy single was catchy and left you feeling carefree.
The song became especially popular when picked up for the soundtrack of the movie “Clueless.”
Supergrass is a not-as-well known wonder from England that stands strong post-Britpop.
The band is made up of two brothers, Gaz and Rob Coombes, Mick Quinn and Danny Goffey. The band formed in 1993 in Oxford.
They released their first single, “Caught by the Fuzz,” in 1994 and were quickly scooped up by the label, Parlophone. The first album, “I Should CoCo” hit number one for three weeks in the United Kingdom and had mild success in America.
Supergrass had continued success in the United Kingdom releases “In It For the Money” in 1997, “Supergrass” in 1999, “Life on Other Planets” in 2002 and “Road to Rouen” in 2005.
March 24, 2008 Supergrass released their sixth album, “Diamond Hoo Ha.” The album peaked at #19 on the United Kingdom’s charts.
Supergrass are currently touring to promote their newest release.
