Supergrass are an English rock band from Oxford.
The band consists of brothers Gaz (guitar and lead vocals) and Rob Coombes (keyboards),
Danny Goffey (drums and backing vocals), and Mick Quinn (bass and backing vocals).
The band rose to prominence during the Britpop era in the mid-90s with their hit "Alright".
The band's youthful image and music (two of the band members were still teenagers when the band formed)
came as a contrast to the more serious bands such as Oasis, Blur and Suede.
The band's main musical influences are Buzzcocks, T.Rex, the Jam and The Kinks.
They combined these influences with traits of the pop-punk era, characterized by fast,
three-chord, guitar-based, catchy tunes. On their own the band's youthful look and music have
influenced many new artists as Arctic Monkeys, The Coral, The Fratellis, Kaiser Chiefs and The Vines.
