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.
