30 years ago today: Supergrass released I Should Coco

Gaz Coombes on I Should Coco:

"Sometimes it feels like yesterday and then other times it feels like another lifetime ago. I was listening to it recently because we’re planning this anniversary re-issue and it was great to hear it again. It felt really fresh and full of energy. It’s been great talking to people involved around it as well. There’s a lot of love for that record and we all feel proud of it."

"I was like 16 or 17 years old when everything blew up and it was insane. Life was so fast moving. We hit the road pretty early on that album and started touring America for six or seven weeks and by the time we got back ‘Alright’ had been released. It had all gone crazy and suddenly everyone was recognising me in the street. It was bonkers but exciting.”
