Oxford, England (1994 – present)
Supergrass are a rock band from Oxford, England, who were most popular during the britpop era. The band has released six studio albums to date and one singles compilation.
The band consists of brothers Gaz (guitar and lead vocals) and Rob Coombes (keyboards), Danny Goffey (drums and backing vocals) and Mick Quinn (bass and backing vocals) They used to attend Wheatley park school, Wheatley, Oxford. Some of the members were originally in popular local band The Jennifers.
In summer 1994 they released their first single “Caught By The Fuzz” which had “Strange Ones” on the B side, on a small local record label called Backbeat which was run by Makating bass guitarist Dave Norland from his bedroom in a house in the Cowley Road area of Oxford where the band spent much of their time, a few of the records have survived. The song was successful and it didn’t take much time when the Parlophone label signed them and few months later re-released “Caught By The Fuzz” again. In the spring of 1995 was released another single “Mansize Rooster” followed by “Lenny” right before they released debut album “I Should Coco” in May 1995. It was their only album that made an impact in the USA.
In 1997, they released their second album, “In it for the money” which got them even more acclaim, but slightly darker sound confused many of their fans. Still, it was a success, both critically and financially.
The third album, released in 1999, “Supergrass” (or the X-Ray Album, as the fans like to call it because of the cover) was more of a continuation of “In it for the money”, and was not received as well as the former albums.
