Released: 21st May 2012
Label: Hot Fruit Recordings
Gaz Coombes has been
around for years under the Supergrass name, a band that reinvigorated the UK
Britpop scene with young enthusiasm and a firm stance in being pretty ‘out
there’ with some of the sounds they were creating. As the matured, so did their
sound and right up until the release of last album Diamond Hoo Ha, Supergrass
has released an extortionate amount of rock hits that still received favourable
mentions to this day.
So as Supergrass rests in
peace, Gaz Coombes sets out to begin his solo career. Under the name Gaz
Coombes Presents…, he has released debut Here Come The Bombs. It features a lot
of catchy rhythms, especially in tracks such as Hot Fruit and Universal Cinema,
which allow the album to flow in a really nice pace and tempo, and while there
are a few too many vocal melodies involved, the instrumentations here are
superb.
Here Come The Bombs is a
nice varied album, ranging from the progressive, sexy songs to straight out
rock tracks, to the soft acoustic numbers. It’s a nice album that can be played
in the background as its fairly inoffensive material; however that’s not to say
it has no redeeming qualities. It’s a great debut effort which is to be
expected from a man who’s been around the music biz as much as Gaz Coombes.
