Supergrass
Supergrass are an English rock band formed in 1993. For the majority of the band's tenure, the line-up consisted of brothers Gaz (lead vocals, guitar) and Rob Coombes (keyboards), Mick Quinn (bass, backing vocals) and Danny Goffey (drums, backing vocals). Originally a three-piece, the band was officially joined by Rob Coombes in 2002. The band signed to Parlophone Records in 1994 and produced '' I Should Coco'' (1995), the best-selling debut album for the label since the Beatles' '' Please Please Me''. Their first album's fourth single, " Alright", was an international hit. The band went on to release five more albums: '' In It for the Money'' (1997), ''Supergrass'' (1999), '' Life on Other Planets'' (2002), '' Road to Rouen'' (2005) and '' Diamond Hoo Ha'' (2008), as well as a compilation called '' Supergrass Is 10'' (2004).

The Guardian
''The Guardian'' is a British daily newspaper. It was founded in Manchester in 1821 as ''The Manchester Guardian'' and changed its name in 1959, followed by a move to London. Along with its sister paper, ''The Guardian Weekly'', ''The Guardian'' is part of the Guardian Media Group, owned by the Scott Trust Limited. The trust was created in 1936 to "secure the financial and editorial independence of ''The Guardian'' in perpetuity and to safeguard the journalistic freedom and liberal values of ''The Guardian'' free from commercial or political interference". The trust was converted into a limited company in 2008, with a constitution written so as to maintain for ''The Guardian'' the same protections as were built into the structure of the Scott Trust by its creators. Profits are reinvested in its journalism rather than distributed to owners or shareholders. It is considered a newspaper of record in the UK. The editor-in-chief Katharine Viner succeeded Alan Rusbridger in 2015. S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rush Hour Soul (song)
"Rush Hour Soul" is a song by the Britpop band Supergrass. It was the fourth and final single from their fourth album ''Life on Other Planets''. The single failed to chart in the US, and was outside the Top 75 in the UK upon its release in August 2003, but this was probably because it was released around ten months after ''Life on Other Planets''. "It's about losing reality and just being really off your head," said Danny Goffey. "You could be really drugged up or stricken by madness, and then it's about just needing an escape to get out of that. That's why the verses are quite intense and the chorus is more reflective about the place you'd rather be in." Supergrass themselves are quite fond of the song, and describe it as "rapidly becoming a live monster". Track li ...

Lenny (Supergrass Song)
"Lenny" is a song by English rock band Supergrass, released in May 1995 by Parlophone as the fourth single from their debut album, '' I Should Coco'' (1995). It was produced by Sam Williams and reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for three weeks. Critical reception Pan-European magazine ''Music & Media'' wrote, "Steam hammer monotony in the intro soon turns into souped-up '60s pop brought with the right brattish attitude. Stay tuned for some 'Sex!' education on the hilarious country A country is a distinct part of the world, such as a state, nation, or other political entity. When referring to a specific polity, the term "country" may refer to a sovereign state, state with limited recognition, constituent country, ... bonus track." Boy George reviewed the song for '' Select'' and named it Georges Single of the Month, saying, "I just think this is really exciting. Quite sexual and uplifting.

Going Out
"Going Out" is the first single from English rock band Supergrass's second studio album, '' In It for the Money'' (1997). It was released on 26 February 1996 by Parlophone, more than a year before the album, and reached five on the UK Singles Chart and number 20 on the Irish Singles Chart. The song was apparently originally written in the key of E because the engine of Supergrass' tour bus would tick at that same musical pitch. "Going Out" caused problems when Danny Goffey accused Gaz Coombes of basing the lyrics of the song on himself and Pearl Lowe's (his then girlfriend) involvement in the British tabloids. Critical reception Gina Morris from '' Smash Hits'' gave the song four out of five, writing, "'Going Out' is a slow worker on the WOW! front (designed to sound like it's coming through a knackered transistor radio even on the best stereo) but it'll get you eventually." Music video The music video for "Going Out", directed by Dom and Nic, was filmed on a bandstand in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mary (Supergrass Song)
"Mary" is a song by the Britpop band Supergrass, released in November 1999 as the third and final single from their eponymous third album. It reached number 36 on the UK Singles Chart. This was the last Supergrass single to be released on cassette. Chord progression and lead guitar breaks Mary is written in the key of Cm. The verses and chorus both employ the same chord progression of G♯-F-Cm, with guitarist Gaz Coombes utilising single string lead breaks on the 5th (A) string with an E-bow. The opening chord progression of the song bears some similarities to Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.

Mansize Rooster
"Mansize Rooster" is a song by English rock band Supergrass, released as the second single from their debut album, ''I Should Coco'' (1995). It reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart, remaining on the chart for three weeks. Like its predecessor "Caught by the Fuzz", "Mansize Rooster" was originally released in 1994 as a limited-run 7-inch vinyl-only release on Backbeat Records. There were two pressings of 500 copies on Backbeat; the first pressing was on lime green vinyl and the second pressing was on translucent grass-green vinyl. Both sides of the original Backbeat 7" feature the original demo versions and were subsequently re-recorded when the band signed to EMI/Parlophone Records later in 1994. It was played as Supergrass' first ever live television performance on '' The Word'' in 1995. The song is used in the film '' Casper: A Spirited Beginning'' and is included in its soundtrack.

Seen The Light
"Seen the Light" is a song by English rock band Supergrass. It was the third single from their fourth album ''Life on Other Planets''. It was the first Supergrass release on DVD and reached number 22 on the UK Singles Chart when it was released in January 2003. The B-Side "The Loner" is a cover version of a Neil Young song. Music video The video begins with the statement "All the world await this human drama, of man's faith in God", which then leads straight to the start of the song itself. It is mainly black-and-white footage (however, there is a brief period of colour film around the middle eight) of music concert goers, people experiencing religious revelations and preacher men. The video ends with a wild audience applauding 1950s teen idol Fabian Forte, and finally a preacher proclaiming; "When you get to heaven, it'll all be out, and over." "We're not actually in it," Goffey explains. "It's all really old footage of religious preachers mixed in with old footage of rock a ...

Late In The Day
"Late in the Day" was the fourth single from Britpop band Supergrass' second studio album, ''In It for the Money'' (1997). It was released in October 1997 and reached number 18 on the UK Singles Chart. The song also charted in Iceland, peaking at number 32 in November 1997. The two CD releases of the single have the same photo as their cover but the colours of one have been reversed on the second one. "We Still Need More (Than Anyone Can Give)" features as a B-side to this single, it was later released as a separate single as part of the ''Dead Man On Campus'' soundtrack, along with two other songs by different bands. Music video The video, directed by Dom and Nic, is shot entirely in black and white film and begins with Gaz Coombes sitting on a sofa in front of a large window. There is a cigarette smoking in an ashtray on a table beside him, as he plays an acoustic guitar to "Late in the Day".

Grace (Supergrass Song)
"Grace" is a song by Britpop band Supergrass. It was the second single to be taken from ''Life on Other Planets'' (2002), the band's fourth studio album. It was released on 16 September 2002 and reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart. Unlike the previous single, " Never Done Nothing Like That Before", a vinyl-only release, it was released on all major formats. Background Gaz Coombes explained the meaning of the song: "This one came from the daughter of Chris Difford. Part of the record was done in the small studio right behind his home. While recording, we often got visited by his daughters. No, not that kind! They're really sweet children. Kids in the studio just add to the right atmosphere. You can do great jams with them. That's how 'Grace' developed. One of these girls always carried a small money box around. ''Save The Money For The Children'', it says. One day, Danny came in drunk, and started rambling on a piano, shouting all kinds of weird lyrics. So, we used t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Richard III (song)
"Richard III" is a song by English rock band Supergrass. It was the second single released from the band's second album, ''In It for the Money'' (1997), after "Going Out", which was released over a year before. "Richard III" was released in March 1997 and reached number two on the UK Singles Chart on 6 April, their highest placing since " Alright" / "Time" in 1995, which also peaked at number two. The song also reached number 21 in Iceland and number 30 in Ireland. The song's name comes from the band's method of creating working titles for songs—giving them people's names. This was the third called "Richard" and the band liked the reference to the king Richard III and the Shakespeare play ''Richard III'' in which the king is depicted as a dark and evil character, as it matched the menacing tone of the song. Neither the king nor the play is mentioned in the song. Both the 2nd CD (of the CD release format) and the 7-inch vinyl format have the "Richard III" cover design but with ...
