"Caught by the Fuzz" was where Supergrass came in: Parlophone put it out in October 1994 as the first single from what became their debut album, I Should Coco. It had already done the rounds on Backbeat Records, where it sold out fast and caught the ear of producer Sam Williams, whose demos with the band at Sawmills Studio (plus a gig at Oxford's Jericho Tavern under the eyes of the A&R men) won them the major-label deal.
Gaz Coombes sings and plays guitar, Mick Quinn plays bass and adds backing vocals, and Danny Goffey drums, all three sharing the writing credit. Critics hailed the kids as a fresh, breakneck voice of youth, and the song landed at number five on John Peel's Festive 50 of 1994. Dom and Nic's video stitches together footage of the band on stage and off.
