Supergrass — Diamond Hoo Ha

My rule on music careers from artists I love is, you give me four great records and I'll excuse whatever comes after, before or in between — or rather, I'll simply forget it. That's my feeling on Road To Rouen, Supergrass's last full-length and hands down their worst. It's with complete surprise and delight that Diamond Hoo Ha is absolutely...

Supergrass — Road To Rouen

Underrated Brit rockers Supergrass are looking for trouble. They're following up their raucous Supergrass Is 10 with a new record of comparatively slower numbers. It's inevitable that some fans will be disappointed — nothing rocks, it's barely danceable and the hooks are harder to find. On the other hand this is the perfect antidote to their Best...

Supergrass — Is 10: The Best Of 94-04

For whatever reason, Supergrass never quite caught on in North America as much as they did in their homeland England. It’s a shame, really. This greatest hits retrospective confirms what the Brits have known for years (10, to be exact): Gaz Coombes, Mickey Quinn and Danny Goffey have a knack for crafting pop-punk anthems with equal measures of...

Supergrass To Split After 17 Years

British rockers Supergrass have decided to call it quits after a 17-year career that included six studio albums. Not the kind to keep fans guessing on their status (unlike other bands), the Oxford, England band jokingly chalked up the split to a "17 year itch" and released a statement Monday (April 12) confirming the break-up.

Pumping: Supergrass - Diamond Hoo Ha

I can't think of any circumstance where a diamond hoo ha would be a pleasant experience for anyone involved. Like seriously, imagine the shock a potential suitor gets when the knickers drop and BLAM! there's labium hanging out all encrusted with jagged chunks of the world's hardest known naturally occurring mineral. What do you do with that?...

Pumping: Supergrass — Road To Rouen

So this was supposed to be one of them "more mature" records and I guess it was, what with all the strings 'n' such. It's fine and all, but we infinitely prefer those scampy "Pumping On The Stereo" days far more. Obviously.

Supergrass Show Off Their Collective Diamond Hoo Ha On New Album

It looks like Supergrass will enter the contest for the most amusing album title of 2008 when they release Diamond Hoo Ha on April 15 through Astralwerks. We'll leave it up to you to decide exactly what the phrase "Diamond Hoo Ha" means. At any rate, the disc might just give Martha Wainwright's I Know You're Married But I've Got...

Supergrass Plan Hasty Return From Rouen

Supergrass fans are a patient bunch. The band typically have three years between their releases, sometimes four. But the distance between Road To Rouen and their next effort will be a lot shorter. "After touring, we're going to write for a month, meet up and start a new album, basically," Mick Quinn told CHARTattack during a recent...
