Supergrass - 'Bad Blood'

Who would of thought the boys from Oxford would still be going all these years after being caught by the Fuzz? Having outlasted all of their peers bar Oasis (non-original members permitting), Supergrass release ‘Bad Blood’ on Parlophone with production coming from Nick Launay (Arcade Fire, YYYs). Despite the opening bars being bouncier than Jordan’s chest, the cheeky-stoned-grin approaching on the horizon is a mirage of old. The bass is heavy-laden and Gaz is more Jason Stollsteimer than, well, Gaz – ‘another day, c’mon, c’mon, things were good when we were young.’ Too far? I hate to say it, but this is just alright.

Released 17/03/08 on Parlophone.
