Supergrass is an English alternative rock band from Oxford. They were active from 1993-2010 and reformed in 2019 for live touring and a box set. The band was formed by Gaz, Mick, and Danny, with Gaz's older brother joining in 2002. During a brief hiatus in 2008, Danny and Gaz performed as a duo called The Hot Rats, while also playing as Diamond Hoo Ha Men. All members went on to have solo careers or collaborate with each other.
The band initially came together when two members of The Jennifers joined forces with Gaz after meeting at a pub where they all worked part-time. Supergrass gained popularity throughout the '90s and early 2000s with their unique sound that blended alternative rock with Britpop influences.
In addition to their successful albums like "I Should Coco" and "In It for the Money," Supergrass recorded an abandoned seventh album in 2009 that has never been released. Despite some internal conflicts, the band remains highly regarded for their energetic live performances and catchy songs.

2015 Remastered Edition in Celebration of the Album's 20th Anniversary! Includes the Bonus 7" Single "Stone Free" / "Odd?" To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Brit-pop forerunners Supergrass' chart-topping platinum 1995 debut full-length, I Should Coco, Parlophone Records is reissuing the time honored classic on 180g vinyl with remastered audio complete with a colored copy of the 7" single "Stone Free" / "Odd?" which was originally released with the album. 


Supergrass burst onto the UK music scene in 1994 with the hit singles "Caught By The Fuzz" and "Mansize Rooster." Their infectious blend of power-pop melodies, youthful punk attitude and wicked sense of humour set them apart from their Britpop contemporaries. Their sound was not tied to a particular artist or era, so has allowed their music to remain timeless. When I Should Coco hit the shelves in 1995, it was an immediate smash, reaching the #1 spot on the UK album chart making it the biggest selling debut album for Parlophone since The Beatles' Please Please Me. 

The album featured two Top 10 hits: "Lenny" and "Alright," the latter becoming one of the defining songs of their career. These young men devoured a lot of music in their youth; combining the melodicism of The Kinks and The Beatles, the ferocious rhythms of The Who, the Anglo-centric vocals of Madness with the punk/pop energy of The Buzzcocks into a musical stew that sounded like no one but Supergrass. They delivered a nearly perfect album to kick-start their career; a record that still resonates and charms two decades on.

The LP includes a special bonus: The original 7" single of "Stone Free"/"Odd?" on red vinyl with a reworked red/yellow classic Parlophone 45 label but in its original retro 'Parlophone' housebag. "Stone Free" was originally recorded during a long night at Falconer Studios on April 12, 1995 just after the band returned home from their first American tour. "Odd?" was recorded at BBC Maida Vale on January 10, 1995, as part of their first John Peel session which was initially broadcast 4th Feb 1995. It was also Rob Coombes' first appearance on keyboards with the band.
