English rock band from Oxford, formed in the early 1990s, known for melodic, guitar-driven songs and a progression from punky debut material to more mature albums.

Started as a youthful punk-pop outfit, later adopting more introspective and mature sounds; Gaz Coombes is lead singer and Rob Coombes (his cousin) joined on keyboards (noted in reviews as a permanent addition).

DeBaser's reviews trace Supergrass from their punky, exuberant debut to more mature, reflective records. Critics praise strong songwriting and melodic hooks while noting stylistic shifts. Highlights include I Should Coco (debut energy), Supergrass (1999) (more elaborate), Road To Rouen (intimate maturity) and the guitar-driven Diamond Hoo Ha.

For:Fans of Britpop and indie/alternative rock; readers of album reviews and music history enthusiasts.

 Unmissable.

 Mature and introspective is the qualitative judgment of the third eponymous album by the Oxford band, dated 1999.

 The judgment is still decidedly positive, and it could have even been enthusiastic if all the tracks had maintained the poignant tension of the concluding "Fin", which in its moving minimalism is worth the entire and overflowing last Coldplay album.

 A great return for Supergrass, which rewards the long wait, and gives us back a band still in shape and ready to amaze.
