**”Supergrass”*** are an English rock band formed in 1993 in Oxford. The band consists of brothers ***[Gaz](<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaz_Coombes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaz_Coombes</a>)*** (guitar and lead vocals) and ***[Rob Coombes](<a href="https://cutt.ly/2cD7phB" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/2cD7phB</a>)*** (keyboards), ***[Mick Quinn](<a href="https://cutt.ly/McD7d50" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/McD7d50</a>)*** (bass and backing vocals) and ***[Danny Goffey](<a href="https://cutt.ly/4cD7jgq" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/4cD7jgq</a>)*** (drums and backing vocals).<br /><br />Like many other British bands of the '90s, Supergrass' musical roots lie in the infectiously catchy punk-pop of the **”[Buzzcocks](<a href="https://cutt.ly/ocD7zjf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/ocD7zjf</a>)”** and the **”[Jam](h<a href="https://cutt.ly/ucD7cLo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/ucD7cLo</a>)”**, as well as the post-punk pop of **”[Madness](<a href="https://cutt.ly/CcD7nF9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/CcD7nF9</a>)”** and the traditional Brit-pop of the **”[Kinks](<a href="https://cutt.ly/ocD7WLF" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/ocD7WLF</a>)”** and **”[Small Faces](<a href="https://cutt.ly/EcD7YyS" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/EcD7YyS</a>)”**. <br />With an exuberant, youthful enthusiasm, Supergrass tied all of their influences together in surprising new ways, where a Buzzcocks riff could slam into three-part harmonies out of *"Crocodile Rock,"* or have a galloping music hall rhythm stutter like the best moments of **”[The Who](<a href="https://cutt.ly/XcD7IpL" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/XcD7IpL</a>)”**.<br /><br />***"Diamond Hoo Ha"*** is the band's sixth studio album, released on 24 March 2008, and offers a return to punchier songs, in comparison to the more mellow ***"Road to Rouen"***, their previous album released in 2005. <br />The album was recorded at **”[Hansa Tonstudio](<a href="https://cutt.ly/BcD9XvV" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/BcD9XvV</a>)”** in Berlin where ***[David Bowie](<a href="https://cutt.ly/icD4i5v" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/icD4i5v</a>)***, amongst others, had also previously recorded albums. The group apparently spent six months writing lyrics for the album, splitting into pairs for inspiration. The track ***"Bad Blood"*** is featured in the video game ***”[Need for Speed Undercover](<a href="https://cutt.ly/IcD3eiE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://cutt.ly/IcD3eiE</a>)”***.<br /><br />Opening with one of the catchiest riffs of the year, **”Supergrass”*** go back to doing what they do best with this criminally overlooked glammy hard rock gem. No, there's nothing here that hasn't been done before, but it doesn't matter when the songs and production are this tight. <br />"You're in the land that time forgot" sings **Gaz Coombes** on the Bowie-esque ***"Rebel in You"***, and he's right: classic glam hard rock is commercially dead but still a goldmine of sound.
