Supergrass: “Mansize Rooster” (Parlophone)

Supergrass provide a spirited, utterly familiar brew of glam-punk, Madness-derived ska and Beach Boys harmonies. It might sound like a recipe for disaster, but it really gels into something quite unique, and it’s great fun. If you can sit still through this, you must be asleep.

Supergrass

Pop must always, always be stupid – stupid as in not understanding the rules, as in running blind, as in stupid with desire, stupid with joy, as in stupefied. That kind of stupid. Supergrass, then, are the most unremittingly stupid band I have ever met.” – Taylor Parkes, Melody Maker
