Supergrass are an English rock band formed in 1993. For the majority of the band's tenure, the line-up has consisted of brothers Gaz (lead vocals, guitar) and Rob Coombes (keyboards), Mick Quinn (bass, backing vocals), and Danny Goffey (drums, backing vocals). It was originally a three-piece, before Rob Coombes officially joined in 2002.
The band signed to Parlophone Records in 1994 and produced I Should Coco (1995), the label's best-selling debut album 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). In August 2009, the band signed to Cooking Vinyl and began work on their seventh studio album, Release the Drones. The album remains unreleased and unfinished.
In April 2010, the band announced they were splitting up due to musical and creative differences. The group disbanded after four farewell shows, the final one at La Cigale, Paris, on 11 June 2010. The band reformed in 2019, initially to perform at Pilton Party followed by a "secret" show at Oslo in Hackney, London. The band made their final appearance of their first reunion with a performance in honour of Foo Fighters' recently deceased drummer Taylor Hawkins at his tribute concert in 2022, performing some of Hawkins' favourite songs from Supergrass's catalogue. Hawkins had previously expressed his love of the band, and had even made a cameo drum appearance at one of their concerts. The band announced a 2025 UK tour at the end of 2024 playing I Should Coco (for its 30th anniversary) in its entirety plus hits.
