Supergrass’s Roundhouse show was a glorious start to Britpop Summer ...Middle East

With Britpop’s big summer to come – a historic tour from Oasis, a new album from Pulp, and an album at least called “Britpop” from Robbie Williams – it is only right that what Coombes calls from the stage a “mad little record” also gets it nostalgic due. I Should Coco, a million seller that became record label Parlophone’s fastest-selling debut album since The Beatles, is an exhilarating pop-punk rush in the truest British tradition – with bright, fast, catchy songs about oddballs and outsiders and their teenage escapades.

Gaz Coombes: 'I didn't leave Supergrass to go solo. I left because it wasn't making me happy'

Pre-tour, Goffey had expressed doubt as to whether he could still play at the required pace given how frantic many of Coco’s songs are (his Instagram recently posted a tour photo of his drum kit splattered in blood). But the first three tracks race by: “I’d Like to Know” is a whirlwind opener; pints fly during the crunching minor drug bust tale of “Caught by the Fuzz”; while the jaunty, Madness-like “Mansize Rooster” bounces along. “This is track number four,” the trilby-wearing Coombes deadpans before “Alright”, whose anthemic qualities remain undimmed by overexposure.

A second set of singles shows how the band evolved in the years that followed: capable of going harder (“Richard III”), more elegiac (“Late in the Day”) and weirder (the horror soundscape of “Mary”): the darker undercurrents of the magnificent “Moving” casting a shadow over Coco’s exuberance. But an encore of a delirious “Sun Hits the Sky” and the daft glam stomp of “Pumping on Your Stereo” show they were still writing radio-friendly pop.
